This cybersecurity immersion experience is the first in a series of events to take place at the SMC's in the coming years as part of the joint DoD Cybersecurity Leadership Development Program.

The SMC Cyber Fusion event includes a team-based, real-world scenario decision-making exercise in partnership with the Norwich University Applied Research Institute, and a CTF team competition in partnership with the Virginia Cyber Range. This event will also include guest speakers, an expert panel, and networking opportunities. The SMC Cyber Fusion cup will be presented to the winning team.
