We’ve curated some of the best cybersecurity resources available for kids of every age to keep them entertained, educated, and safe while they spend more time on the internet during this uncertain time.
US Cyber Challenge’s (USCC) Cyber Quests
USCC is a CIS funded program that aims to identify America’s next generation of cybersecurity professionals. The Cyber Quests are a series of fun and challenging online competitions. They allow participants to demonstrate their knowledge in a variety of information security realms. Each quest features an artifact for analysis, along with a series of quiz questions. A quest may focus on a potentially vulnerable sample web server as the artifact, challenging participants to identify its flaws using vulnerability analysis skills. Other quests are focused around forensic analysis, packet capture analysis, and more. The quests have varying levels of difficulty and complexity, and most are geared toward high school and college-age students. Register today to participate: https://uscc.cyberquests.org/
