The 23rd Annual Eagle Alliance hosted Crypto Cup took place on 3 October and was a great success - raising over $30,000 for the NCF's programs and initiatives! Check out the recap page for all the winners, photos, and more. Many thanks to Eagle Alliance and all who supported this important fundraiser.

During CyberSecurity Awareness Month, the first 10,000 qualifying Maryland IT Professionals can enroll for cost-free training into one of CyberNow Labs’ live online CompTIA Security+ certification preparation programs, an 8-week course starting the first Monday of each month beginning in November.
