Launched earlier this week, the Cyber Security Challenge is a series of online games and competitions to identify the rising stars of the IT security industry and is designed to make more people consider a career in the area.
ISPA secretary general Nicholas Lansman claimed the challenge will be useful in attracting new talent to the industry and highlighted the importance of having high standards of IT security.
"The work that cyber security professionals do is incredibly important and ISPA welcomes the effort to encourage more people in to this profession," he added.
In addition, Mr Lansman called on the government to channel more resources into ensuring that people are aware of the dangers which can be found online and are able to use the internet safely.
The 30 winners of the Cyber Security Challenge will receive a range of prizes, including places at the Detica Academy and various other training courses.
