CyberTitan teaches cybersecurity skills to students in the hope they will pursue a career in cybersecurity and STEM-related fields.
Due to the pandemic, the CyberTitan final will take place online instead of being hosted in-person in Ottawa.
Teams from New Brunswick, British Columbia, Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta beat out 200 other Canadian schools to reach the national finals.
The theme this year is Hedge Fund 2020 based on real-world financial cybersecurity demands.
