Event Description

This workshop is designed for educators who are preparing to teach the new Foundations of Cybersecurity course in Texas and need to build their own cybersecurity skill set. Teachers will focus on understanding the basics of cybersecurity such as confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, and authorization and get hands-on experience with activities they can use in their classroom to teach these concepts. We will also review common industry certifications in cybersecurity to help teachers understand what certifications their students should be driving toward.

Certificates of Participation - Certificates stating 7 hours of Continuing Professional Education hours (CPE credits) earned will be sent electronically after the participant has completed the online course evaluation. Any questions about certificates should be directed toward the contact person listed on this page.
