What I learned at Cyber Boot Camp this summer: 7 lessons

Last week, I participated in a program that aims to develop the skills, mindset, and moral code required defend networks against criminal abuse: Cyber Boot Camp. This annual event is a joint project of Securing Our eCity and ESET, with the help of numerous volunteers and sponsors. This year, five days of intensive education were delivered to some four dozen students between 12 and 18 years of age, on a campus of National University in San Diego. Students achieve a place at Cyber Boot Camp through participation in the San Diego Mayors’ Cyber Cup. My team and I were there as part of ESET’s commitment to both cybersecurity education and the local community. (ESET’s North American headquarters are in San Diego, California.)
