General Notes About Unit 9

We will not complete any of the Project Innovation Simulations in this Unit (Lessons 1, 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, and 13). Therefore, those lessons will not be listed below.

Instead, we will supplement this Code.org unit quite heavily with third party materials to give you a richer experience in cybersecurity and the global impacts of security and privacy issues.

Crash Course: Cybersecurity (#31)

Produced by: Crash Course

Video Description: Cybersecurity is a set of techniques to protect the secrecy, integrity, and availability of computer systems and data against threats. In today’s episode, we’re going to unpack these three goals and talk through some strategies we use like passwords, biometrics, and access privileges to keep our information as secure, but also as accessible as possible. From massive Denial of Service, or DDos attacks, to malware and brute force password cracking there are a lot of ways for hackers to gain access to your data, so we’ll also discuss some strategies like creating strong passwords, and using 2-factor authentication, to keep your information safe.
