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.
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.
