教育工作者和赞助商都认为竞赛对职业选择有着强大而积极的影响。然而，缺乏对网络安全竞赛的实证研究，来自计算机科学和数学竞赛的证据好坏参半。在这里，我们报告了国家网络联盟正在进行的一项研究的初步结果，以了解比赛在促进网络安全职业参与方面的作用。初步结果表明，网络竞赛吸引了有经验的个人，他们将长期留在这一行业，但需要进一步研究，以了解网络竞赛如何吸引女性和新进入这一领域的人。
Educators and sponsors endorse competitions as a strong, positive influence on career choice. However, empirical studies of cybersecurity competitions are lacking, and evidence from computer science and mathematics competitions has been mixed. Here we report initial results from an ongoing study of the National Cyber League to provide a glimpse of the role of competitions in fostering cybersecurity career engagement. Preliminary results suggest that cyber competitions attract experienced individuals who will remain in the profession for the long-term, but future research is needed to understand how cyber competitions may engage women and those new to the field.
