Cybersecurity Summer Camp

Cybersecurity is of fundamental importance to the economic strength and national security of the United States in order to form a safe and innovative foundation in cyberspace, yet the NSTC (National Science and Technology Council) claims that cybersecurity has not kept pace with the increase in cyber threats. This camp aims to train students who are interested in cybersecurity through seminars.

Goal of Summer Camps:

The goal of this project is to improve Cybersecurity education through summer camps for students, especially for undergraduate students. This event is managed by cybersecurity faculty at San Jose State University with industry partners for each day. Here is a tentative agenda with speakers and our industry partners. We also have career consulting for 20-30 minutes every day through Q&A after sessions. Our faculty speakers will not be changed. However, specific topics can be changed a little.

Target Audience: Anyone who are interested in cybersecurity, but no pre-experience for cybersecurity. We encourage students to register this summer camps.

Meeting Links: We will send our meeting link with our password again by email on June 19 or June 20, 2020.
