How can cadets get into cyber security?

Army Cadets offers lots of opportunities for cadets to learn about cyber security and there are dedicated initiatives to encourage more girls into cyber security careers.

The CyberFirst programme is a free nationwide scheme set up by the National Cyber Security Centre, part of Joint Communications HQ, which I’d encourage all cadets to explore. See page 23 for nationally run courses and talk to your detachment commander for information on local courses.

The programme is a great introduction to cyber security and, if you want to progress further, there are bursary schemes and financial support available to support your studies.
