NSA Cyber Safety 101 Workshop

Students will learn what cybersecurity is, how cybersecurity works and how to stay safe online! There is no math or programming prerequisite to join this class! 

Smartphones, computers, tablets, the internet, social media, email—these and other communication devices and methods are ever-present and ever-changing. One common thread is the need for the user to be aware of the possible threats in the cyber realm. This talk introduces cybersecurity principles to increase students’ knowledge about safely navigating the internet, including email and social media. Topics covered include viruses, worms, Trojan horses, identity theft, phishing, and social engineering.

This is a free and online event open to 6th - 12th graders. Only an online device and the interest to learn more are needed.

Presented by the National Security Agency.
