Join us for a two-day PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT opportunity for high school instructors in any discipline who are interested in Cybersecurity. The workshop will examine the basic concept of a system and how it relates to security principles and practices and will examine the threats to computers, devices, and information systems that seek to access, modify, damage, delete, or withhold personal and sensitive information. It will also provide an understanding of the security defenses an individual and organization can take to mitigate the various threats to computers, devices and information systems. The lesson plans can be offered as a concurrent enrollment course (CPS 100) to support high school students.
TOPICS will include:
• The Internet and Systems Thinking
• Introduction to Information Security
