The Cybersecurity Center at Texas A&M University (TAMU) will host the GenCyber: Digital Forensics Analysts Academy, two face-to-face summer day camps for high school students in the Brazos Valley Region in Texas. Through a digital forensic analysts-themed camp, students will learn about the GenCyber core cybersecurity concepts: Defense In Depth, Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Think Like an Adversary, and Keep It Simple. Students (forensics analysts) will use interactive activities in digital forensics, cryptography, steganography, and other cybersecurity-related areas to learn the GenCyber core cybersecurity concepts. The GenCyber camp will end with the students analyzing evidence and providing testimony in a mock cybercrime and mock trial. The students will be provided access to tools and resources they can take home to continue their cybersecurity exploration.
