Enhance cybersecurity awareness and survivability for DoD, industry partners, and academia in the face of the ever-increasing threat of cyber attacks. Cybersecurity (CS) includes managing risks related to the use, processing, storage, and transmission of information and the systems and processes used for those purposes, including analog and physical form. CS includes information availability, identification and authentication, confidentiality, integrity, and non-repudiation as well as the economic considerations with respect to selection of CS techniques, CS processes, and industry trends.

Schools are starting to take cyber-security more serious, because of how serious hacking has become. Schools around the country are introducing more and more computer related classes teaching kids very basic security standards and useful practices.

I see schools around the world are investing in cyber security. It is because of the increasing digital teaching in schools. The schools are more connected to the internet as opposed to teaching with books and papers only. BYOD is increasing in schools are well which exposes school networks to greater threats, particularly in primary school areas where knowledge of Malware, Phishing, spear phishing etc. is not that strong.
My question is, does this forum have anything that could be used for schools as a simple learning to for making kids as well as faculty staff on what threat exists when using internet etc.? Anything that could be shared?

It is very important for teachers and schools to start teaching kids about cyber-security and how they can learn a lot about it so that way they have knowledge about all of the different aspects that come with it. One day they might get attacked by a hacker who can steal their information and by being prepared, they could prevent this from happening because they would have the knowledge on how to stop the hacker from doing anything that could harm them in any way. With this valuable knowledge, they can go a long way such as getting a job in the cyber-security field.

Teaching cybersecurity education should be encouraged at a national level. Zooming out and viewing the hacking threats our country has been experiencing, our nation is experiencing a shortage in a pool of talent that have the skills necessary for the proper monitoring of attacks.
Emphasis should not only be towards teaching individuals to practice healthy cybersecurity habits in internet use. But also developing well-trained individuals prepared to depend companies and the government from adverse intrusions.
