Cybersecurity is an extremely important part of today’s information systems. Computer professionals know that there are too many threats and not enough cybersecurity professionals. These camps will teach high school and middle school students about major security threats and cover methods that are used to stop them. The knowledge gained in these camps will make the students more aware of computer security for everything from personal computers/devices to computer networks.
