Who are we?

The Southern California Community College Consortium on Cybersecurity is a collaborative effort of Coastline College, Cypress College, Irvine Valley College, Saddleback College, and Santa Ana College to provide the opportunity for all K-12 and college students to learn about cybersecurity and compete in various cyber defense competitions, such as CyberPatriot, National Cyber League, and WRCCDC.

Educate

A focus point we strive within our curriculum are preventative measures in securing computers. Our mission is to educate our students to not only prepare them for the workforce, but to generate awareness for cybersecurity as well.

Quality

Prioritizing industry standards, we continuously reach out to businesses in order to determine what they look for in whenever they hire.

Engaged

Our students are dedicated to learn! To expand their skill set, we participate in a wide range of competitions such as CyberPatriot and the National Cyber League.

CyberPatriot Coach Douglas MacArthur High School

"The CyberPatriot program has been an outstanding experience for me and my students for each of the four seasons I have been a coach, and every year I have students whose lives are changed by the opportunity the program provides. Not only have my students learned teamwork, planning and organization, and leadership skills during practice and competition, they have also gained an understanding of the grave threat our society faces from cyber attack, and many of them have decided to make computer science or cyber security their focus in college. Our country needs future leaders who understand the challenges we face and who have the skills to meet these challenges. I'm very proud to be a part of the CyberPatriot Program, and to help create those future leaders."

CyberPatriot Competitor Punahou School

"CyberPatriot has expanded my knowledge and experience with system administration, security, and networking. It incorporates tasks required by those seeking a career in most computing fields and provides real-time feedback on how you perform. It also helps you to plan, prepare, and work well with a team, just as one might in their future endeavors. The use of strategy and time management are critical and the program makes you utilize these effectively. I would recommend CyberPatriot to students."

Amy Griswold

CyberPatriot Parent

"My son started with CyberPatriot not knowing anything about cyber security, the extent of his computer use was gaming and schoolwork. The CyberPatriot program has taught him essential skills for careers later in life as well as teamwork and leadership that he will take with him into the workforce. He is now looking into a degree in computer forensics and attaining his CCNA thanks to the Cisco portion of the competition. I highly recommend CyberPatriot for any teen interested in computer science."
