"CyberCamp Introduces Students to Cybersecurity"

The Center for Cyber Law, Policy, and Security (Pitt Cyber), together with Pitt Information Technology (Pitt IT), recently held the sixth annual Air Force Associate (AFA) CyberCamp. The EQT Foundation and Grable Foundation, along with the Pitt Community Engagement Centers and Pitt Engineering, supported the one-week camp. High school students in the Pittsburgh area who are interested in learning about cybersecurity principles, skills, and future career opportunities were welcome to participate for free. Students were taught throughout the week on cyber ethics and security fundamentals, as well as Windows, Ubuntu, and Linux security policies. Although many people believe cybersecurity is all about the attack strategies used by malicious actors, CyberCamp participants learned defensive strategies to thwart hackers. This article continues to discuss the sixth annual AFA CyberCamp and the importance of increasing cybersecurity interest among young people.
