Cyber Bowl 2025 Kickoff

What is the Cyber Bowl?

 

Aggies, October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month (CSAM).  N.C. A&T is kicking off CSAM with its debut in the 2025 Cyber Bowl followed by other educational events to help foster a security culture of cyber vigilance at the university and beyond. 

The Cyber Bowl promotes cybersecurity awareness by having N.C. A&T compete with seven North Carolina universities to see who is the most cyber smart and we're in it to win it!  And just like the Cyber Bowl, cybersecurity is a team sport. Each of us has an important role to play in securing our devices and data from cyberattacks. 

From October 1, 2025 to October 31,2025, students, faculty and staff will complete a short quiz about cybersecurity to earn points for their university. The university with the highest percentage of participation based on population will be named the Cyber Bowl champion.
