Cybersecurity Career Week is next week!

Cybersecurity Career Week starts Monday, October 19, 2026. Its a time to promote awareness and exploration of cybersecurity careers. We encourage you to host an event, participate in an event near you, or engage students with cybersecurity content!

At NCyTE we encourage people to always be sharing the advantages of a cybersecurity career. Want to engage students but not sure how to get their interest?

Here are some ideas for engagement:
📍Cyber Career MythBusters – Address common misconceptions about cybersecurity careers and education.
📍You Already Have Cyber Skills – Connect transferable skills such as communication, problem-solving, writing, investigation, and leadership to cybersecurity careers.
📍Create a “Start Where You Are” Campaign – Show how people can transition from IT, business, criminal justice, communications, networking, or other fields into cybersecurity.
📍Host Industry Mentorship & Networking Events – Connect students directly with cybersecurity professionals.
📍Create signage for your institution with a “You Might Be a Cybersecurity Professional If…” – Use humor to connect everyday behaviors and interests with cyber careers.

🎓 Explore cybersecurity career pathways
📚 Align curriculum with workforce needs
💼 Create and refine cybersecurity job descriptions
🧩 Identify knowledge and skill requirements
🚀 Support career development and role-based training
📊 Plan and understand workforce capabilities

And there’s more! The Resource Center includes tools, guides, resources by audience, workplace skills information, success stories, and more.

Whether you’re building a cybersecurity program, preparing students for the workforce, or developing your organization’s cyber talent, the NICE Framework can help connect the dots.

🌞 Light mode or 🌙 Dark mode—where do you stand?

Many people love the crisp, bright look of light mode, while others swear by dark mode for comfort and reduced eye strain. But here’s a bonus: dark mode can actually save your battery life!

📱 On OLED screens, fewer pixels light up in dark mode, which means less energy is used. A Purdue University study even found that keeping your phone at full brightness in dark mode cuts power consumption by over 40%.

So… are you team Light ☀️ or team Dark 🌑?

🎥Skyfall (James Bond film, expertly weaves a tale of espionage with modern cyber threats.)
🍿 Eagle Eye (thriller that delves into the world of government surveillance and artificial intelligence.)
🎥The Imitation Game (cracking N**i Germany's Enigma code, often considered the first significant hack of the modern world.)
🍿Die Hard 4 (a cyber-terrorist plot to take down the national infrastructure of the United States of America, illustrating the catastrophic potential of cyber attacks on a national scale.)
🎥Enemy of the State (a thrilling movie that delves deep into the world of surveillance and privacy invasion.)
🍿 Terminator 2 Judgement Day ( it's a profound commentary on the intersection of technology and humanity.)
🎥War Games (eerily foreshadows today's cybersecurity challenges.)
🍿The Net (computer programmer who becomes a target of a conspiracy that erases her identity)

Introducing the new NCyTE Sandbox to Syllabus Webinar Series

NCyTE is excited to launch the Sandbox to Syllabus Webinar Series, a new monthly professional development opportunity designed for instructors, by instructors. Held on the first Friday of each month, this hands-on series will help educators translate emerging technologies, tools, and real-world cybersecurity practices into engaging classroom experiences. Participants will actively explore instructional strategies, lab activities, and practical applications they can immediately bring back to their programs.

We officially kicked off the series on October 2, 2026, with a repeat presentation by Joshua Wortz,“Teaching AI Security: Hands-On LLM Hardening with Docker Desktop and Security Gateways.” The session will demonstrate how instructors can create safe, practical environments for teaching AI security concepts using local large language models, security gateways, and ready-to-use classroom exercises.

The recording and the materials are available on our website at: https://ow.ly/E9OB50ZV46i

Whether you're looking to enhance an existing course or explore new cybersecurity and how to secure other emerging technologies, such as Quantum and AI topics, the Sandbox to Syllabus series offers an interactive space to learn from peers, share ideas, and turn innovative concepts into classroom-ready curriculum.
