Cybersecurity

Protect Networks, Devices, and Data Through Advanced Security Practices

Ages 12–17 | Advanced Course

What is Cybersecurity?

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, networks, and data from unauthorized access and malicious attacks. This advanced course teaches students how to identify vulnerabilities, implement security measures, and defend against cyber threats using industry-standard practices.

Industry-Relevant Skills

Learn the cybersecurity practices used by professionals. Gain skills that are in high demand in the job market.

Hands-On Defense

Practice implementing real security measures. Set up firewalls, create secure networks, and test security systems.

Advanced Level

Designed for students ages 12–17 with a foundational understanding of computers and networking.

Security Fundamentals

Understand the core principles of cybersecurity and how different layers of protection work together to keep systems safe.

CIA Triad

Learn Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability—the three pillars of information security.

Security Best Practices

Discover essential practices: authentication, authorization, access control, and security policies.

Risk Assessment

Identify potential threats, assess vulnerabilities, and evaluate security risks in systems.

Encryption & Cryptographic Keys

Encryption protects data even if someone gains unauthorized access. Learn how encryption algorithms work, manage cryptographic keys, and understand symmetric vs. asymmetric encryption.

Encryption Types

Understand symmetric encryption (AES), asymmetric encryption (RSA), and when to use each method.

Key Management

Learn how to generate, store, and manage cryptographic keys securely. Understand key rotation and protection.

SSL/TLS & HTTPS

Explore how websites secure data transmission using encryption certificates and protocols.

Network Security

Protect entire networks from intrusion. Learn firewall configuration, network monitoring, and detection systems to keep data flowing safely.

Firewalls & IDS

Configure firewalls to control traffic. Set up Intrusion Detection Systems to identify suspicious activity.

VPNs & Secure Communication

Use Virtual Private Networks to create secure connections. Understand tunneling and secure protocols.

Network Segmentation

Divide networks into secure zones. Implement access controls to limit exposure in case of a breach.

Cyber Threats & Vulnerabilities

Understanding threats is the first step to preventing them. Learn about common attacks, malware, and vulnerabilities used by attackers.

Malware & Attacks

Identify viruses, trojans, ransomware, and worms. Understand how attacks work and their impact.

Phishing & Social Engineering

Learn how attackers manipulate people. Identify phishing attempts and develop human-centered security.

Software Vulnerabilities

Find and understand security flaws in code. Learn about patch management and vulnerability disclosure.

Building a Defense Strategy

Effective security requires a comprehensive approach. Learn how to design, implement, and maintain a complete cybersecurity defense system.

Defense in Depth

Layer multiple security measures. If one defense fails, others still protect your system.

Incident Response

Prepare for attacks. Learn how to detect, respond to, and recover from security incidents.

Security Audits & Testing

Evaluate your security posture. Conduct penetration testing and security audits to find weaknesses.
