A United States Coast Guard facility was attacked in 2019. Its monitoring systems, cameras, and doors all stopped
working. The facility shut down for 30 hours. The source of the attack? An employee had opened an e-mail and clicked the
link inside, which contained malware, a type of software designed to damage computer networks. This is what we call
cyberattack and it is becoming more common.
A U.S. government agency, called the National Security Agency, or NSA, works to protect the country’s computer
networks from these attacks. But the NSA has a problem: There aren’t enough people trained to do cybersecurity. According
to a 2017 report from Cybersecurity Ventures, there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs by 2021.To address the
shortage, the NSA and the National Science Foundation sponsor cybersecurity camps for elementary, middle, and high
school students.
The first camp opened in 2014. Today, there are some 150 of them around the country. All are free for students to attend.
Ibrahim Baggili runs such a camp at the University of New Haven. There, students learn the basics of programming using
Python, the coding language favored by many hackers.
In one activity, students investigate a crime scene — a computer where intentionally harmful code was used. Physical
clues lead them to a Twitter account. And they must decrypt(解密) a message posted to the account.
“Cybersecurity is not a fixed thing,” Baggili says. “Every day, you’re going to be facing different kinds of problems.
Someone is going to attack you, and you’ll have to defend yourself.”
