This $24 million government scheme turns teens into superhero hackers:
The Cyber Discovery program uses a gamified model to teach kids cybersecurity skills"SANS is by far the largest and most trusted provider of cybersecurity training in the world," James Lyne, CTO at the SANS Institute says,"so we have a wealth of experience, training content and expert instructors." In the first year the Cyber Discovery program saw some 23,000 youngsters from the U.K.
Finally, the CyberStart Elite stage brings together the best of the best students to be trained by world-class SANS instructors. Working in teams and individual training, they complete certifications that prove they are ready to move to industry and take on roles to help organizations build their security.Attendance at the Elite camps is limited by the logistics of attending face to face events.
He has also started making money using the skills he has learned through this scheme."I can definitely say that Game, Essentials and attending the SANS 560 course in Elite have helped me in my adventure of finding vulnerabilities," Subudhi says,"one that I found was a stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability; I learned how to find and exploit these from CyberStart Elite.
When it came to the"Essentials" stage of the Cyber Discovery program, Milnes was impressed with how this leveled out his cybersecurity understanding."While some topics are perfectly suited to challenges," Milnes says,"some things can only be taught as theory. Essentials allowed me to learn more about topics like network protocols and C programming."
The role of schools and Cyber Discovery club leaders, who are usually schoolteachers, along with parents, of course, can be vital in letting teenagers know that the program exists."You don’t need to be a computer science teacher to lead a club, and we want every student to have a go," Lyne says,"the next top cyber defender could be sat in your French class!"
