We are currently enrolling students in the RING program, a free online high school cybersecurity course. Do you know a student who may be interested? Please share the information below or the attached student information flyer.

What is RING?

RING (Regions Investing in the Next Generation) is a free online high school cybersecurity course that offers interesting and engaging content specifically for rural students, homeschool students, and students attending schools without a cybersecurity program. 

RING aims to mentor students down their career path, instilling ethics and pride in their profession along the way. RING is more than a collection of labs and presentations--it's forging the tools that will shape the next generation of cybersecurity experts.
