WHY Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is an increasingly important field as technology continues to play a major role in our lives. From protecting personal and sensitive information to securing critical infrastructure, cybersecurity is a crucial aspect of modern society. This makes it an excellent career choice for those who are interested in problem-solving, technology and security.

 

GenCyber Camp Information

In this exciting camp, you’ll be introduced to some of the skills and techniques needed to solve a cyber crime. Join us and you’ll trace the path of cyber attackers through a network, dig up clues by performing digital forensics, and hopefully nab the hacker before they get away.  Taught by cybersecurity professionals, with guest speakers with various areas of expertise, this cyber camp will be a great introduction to the field of cybersecurity and an opportunity to meet new friends and have fun while developing skills that will be valuable in the future. Our goal is to provide a supportive and inclusive learning environment where participants can explore their interest in cybersecurity. No prior background in cybersecurity is needed.  

Please Note: The camp will offer an industry-led Career Expo organized in collaboration with the Technology Association of Oregon, providing an excellent opportunity for networking and learning more about the field. This is expected to take place in Portland or Salem in the Fall. More information (date, time, location) will be sent to the Camp registrants closer to the event.
