The U.S. Cyber Challenge is continuing its series of cyber camps. These are so-called boot camps to help mold the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. The next series is scheduled to take place in Dover, Del. in August.

The Dover Post reports that cyber campers will get intensive training in penetration testing, reverse engineering and forensics.

Training ends with a virtual “capture the flag” competition and awards ceremony. Each member of the winning team will get a $1,000 scholarship. Additional camps will be held around the country at various times. They began this month and will continue through August.
