Hands-On Defense: Training Today, Consulting Tomorrow.
About NCC
The National Cybersecurity Club (NCC), an initiative founded by Aspire Cyber, is pioneering a national model to address the critical cybersecurity professional shortage. Our focus is getting students out of theory and into the field by providing specialized, hands-on training, internships, and direct career development to make high-demand roles accessible and inclusive.
GRC FOCUS
Mastering GRC: Hands-On Experience You Can't Get in Class
We center our curriculum on Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC), primarily using the CMMC framework. This focused GRC expertise provides AI-proof job security, as these regulated roles mandate human judgment and diligence.
