Intro to Cybersecurity is designed to introduce students to cybersecurity concepts and inspire interest in cybersecurity careers. This course does not require any prerequisite knowledge in cybersecurity or networking for either the student or teacher.
The focus of instruction will include the implementation and monitoring of security on network and computer systems. Students will investigate strategies to identify and protect against security threats such as malicious actors, eavesdropping, and network attacks. The basics of encryption and logical reasoning will be explored. Hands-on labs in the CYBER.ORG Range provide practice in the configuration and mitigation of system vulnerabilities. Each unit integrates current events and related cyber ethics and law.
