Besides learning the cybersecurity principles and having the opportunity to perform hands-on cybersecurity exercises, participants will spend some time working together as a team while participating in a Capture the Flag (CTF) competition.

 

The topics covered include:
  - Developing a Security Mindset
  - Cybersecurity First Principles

  - Cyber Attack Phases and Defenses

  - Cryptography

  - Networks and Protocols
  - Web Security

  - E-mail Security

We will have guest speakers including academic security researchers and practitioners from industry, who will be able to give the participants a real-world view of the current threats related to cybersecurity. There will be additional evening events including; “An Evening with the Experts”, where we will invite the participants to attend dinner with several cybersecurity professionals, facilitating personal connections with industry leaders.

 

We want participants to be able to share what they learn from the camp with their students and colleagues. We will work closely with you during the camp on the topics and material you can use at your school.

 

Participants will form working groups with a primary goal of using what they are learning in their classroom by hosting an online cybersecurity Capture the Flag competition with their school's students. We will have dedicated sessions during the camp to work with you towards achieving that goal.
