NSA Cyber Exercise Competition 2024

This video was premiered tonight at The White House during the celebration of the NCX winners. During NCX, teams engaged in offensive cyber activities against a fictional adversary that attacked a satellite downlink. Exercises focused on active attack and malware, software development, and cybersecurity policy. These, along with the final attack-and-defend cyber combat exercise, challenged participants to use their creativity and collaboration skills to prevail against complex cyber threats. This year’s NCX was the first hybrid competition since the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing institutions to participate in-person or virtually.
