Cyber Security
What is it?
Most crimes in real life have their online equivalent. These activities are called Cybercrimes. Threats on the internet are automated; you don't have to be a mega-corporation or a celebrity to be affected. They can harm anyone, and they do: everyone is affected, from your closest friend to your dearest enemy, even your dog.
Cybersecurity is what we do to counteract those cybercrimes.
Can you hack it?
Explore what it's like to be an ethical hacker, break secret codes and ciphers and compete in a Capture-the-Flag competition, plus much more in this fantastic week!
