One reason cybercrime is on the rise is a lack of “capable guardians”, people with the appropriate skills and personal ethics to defend networks against attack. Recently I participated in a program that aims to change that situation: Cyber Boot Camp, a place where young people can develop the skills, mindset, and moral code required defend networks against criminal abuse. I have already written about some of the lessons learned by students who attended the camp, but like any good educational experience, the instructors also learned things, and I wanted to share the most worrying thing I learned: there’s a big hole in computer education in America today. While Cyber Boot Camp takes place in California, I suspect that this problem exists in a lot of other states as well (I would be very happy to hear from anyone who can show me I’m wrong on this).
