Cybersecurity Education and Training Assistance Program

CISA launched the Cybersecurity Education and Training Assistance Program (CETAP) to support its efforts in building and strengthening a national cybersecurity workforce pipeline by growing and educating the next generation of cyber-literate students. CETAP initiatives enable elementary and secondary cybersecurity education by providing foundational cybersecurity awareness and literacy, encouraging cybersecurity career exploration, and supporting the teaching of cybersecurity skills at the elementary and secondary education levels.

Current CETAP Recipient – CYBER.ORG(link is external)

Funded by CISA’s CETAP cooperative agreement, is a non-profit organization that targets K-12 students with cyber career awareness, curricular resources, and educator professional development. By developing and distributing cybersecurity content to students and educators across the country at no cost, CYBER.ORG is helping to increase cyber literacy among the nation’s youngest learners. To learn more about available resources and upcoming CYBER.ORG events, please visit cyber.org(link is external) or email info@cyber.org(link sends email) for more information.

CYBER.ORG Range

The CYBER.ORG Range is a no-cost, safe, virtual environment for K-12 students to learn cybersecurity skills. The CYBER.ORG Range is a cloud-based environment capable of running virtual machines with access to the internet but closed off from any private networks. By launching these machines in a web browser, no additional hardware or software is necessary to practice cybersecurity concepts. Since its launch in 2022, the CYBER.ORG Range has been deployed in all states and is currently being used in classrooms by thousands of teachers nationwide.
