The Cyberbytes are a group of strong, smart, and capable (scholars, students, innovators, etc.). A combination of the Cybersecurity and the Full-Stack Development team, we combine the best parts of both programs. We are a diverse group of people of mixed backgrounds, education, and schools. Our group spans 8 total schools in the New York City area. We are confident in our skills and abilities as technicians and believe that we are a great representation of what the Steam Center can accomplish.
In this Cyber Security class, students will have the opportunity to learn and explore various aspects of the field. The course covers a wide range of topics, starting with creating and configuring networks to ensure their stability and optimal performance. Students will also delve into essential cyber security concepts, including understanding different types of threats, vulnerabilities, and attack vectors. A significant focus of the class is on securing networks, applications, and systems, where students will learn techniques such as implementing robust access controls, encryption methods, and security protocols.
Furthermore, the curriculum includes ethical hacking and penetration testing, providing insights into the mindset of hackers and teaching students how to identify vulnerabilities and conduct security assessments. Lastly, students will gain knowledge about digital forensics, including collecting, analyzing, and preserving digital evidence in the event of cyber incidents or criminal activities. Throughout the course, students will engage in practical exercises and hands-on labs to reinforce their learning. By the end of the class, students will have a solid foundation in cyber security principles and practices, equipping them with the necessary skills to protect networks, systems, and data from cyber threats.
