Expected Outcome

By the end of this program the participants in each categories will learn and be able to do the following:

  For grades 6-8:

The students will learn and be able to:

- Understand the risk of different online behaviors.

- Demonstrate some cyber threats for daily online activities, e.g., web surfing, online social, smartphones, ipad.

- Understand basic security issues.

- Follow ethics of cybersecurity and cyber laws.

- Grasp new skills, e.g., teamwork, prepare slides, public speech, communicate.

- Be self-confident

 

- Cyberethics, Cybersafety and Cybersecurity: Identify ethical and legal issues using technology and Demonstrate knowledge of social, legal, and ethical issues related to technology use through practical application.

- System Vulnerabilities: Describe key network perimeter security tools, including firewalls and intrusion detection systems, technologies that are critical to IT operations in financial institutions.

- Information hiding (Steganography): Define different techniques such as injection and substitution and tools and threats of information hiding.

- Cryptography: Describe formal definitions of security, cryptographic primitives and protocols.

  For grades 9-12:

In addition to the previous outcomes in the (6-8) levels, the students in this level will learn and be able to:

- Cyberethics, Cybersafety and Cybersecurity: Assist students in integrating the concepts of cyber-safety, cyber-security, and cyber-ethics (C3) into existing technology and literacy standards and curricula. Preparing students for 21st century digital communication.

- System Administration/Networking: Describe and analyze the hardware, software, components of a network and the interrelations. Explain networking protocols and their hierarchical relationship hardware and software. Compare protocol models and select appropriate protocols for a particular design.

- System Vulnerabilities: Understand common attacking techniques such as virus, Trojan, worms and memory exploits.

- Information hiding (Steganography): Define different techniques such as injection and substitution and tools and threats of information hiding. Understanding the impact of such techniques in cyber security.

- Cryptography: Cryptographic theories, principles and techniques that are used to establish security properties and understanding differences between different encryption/decryption algorithms.
