In conjunction with the Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security (CIAS), the Air Force Association (AFA) announced Microsoft’s support for CyberPatriot II, a one-of-a-kind nationwide high school cyber defense competition.

Microsoft will support the completion of this multi-stage computer security competition by providing software, including Windows Server, at no cost for all of the teachers and students participating. Students will then use the Microsoft software for learning, preparing, and competing in the event.

“We are extremely grateful for Microsoft’s generous support of this exciting project,” said S. Sanford Schlitt, AFA’s Vice Chairman for Aerospace Education. “This software will greatly enrich the learning experience for all of our future CyberPatriot teams.”
