The Defence College for Military Capability Integration (DCMCI) has hosted their academic partner, Cranfield University’s, graduation for the Defence Cyber Academy’s (DCA) Cyber Masters Programme (CMP).

Each year a prize is awarded for the best performing CMP student by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association International (AFCEA). This year, the award was presented to Illysia Harding from Defence Digital by Group Captain Nick Hartley.

AFCEA is a non-profit membership association serving the military, government, industry, and academia as an ethical forum for advancing professional knowledge and relationships in the fields of communications, IT, intelligence, and global security.
