SRA 5001 - International Summer School - Cyber Security
Course Description
International Summer School - CybersecurityGet ready to step into the world of cybersecurity with experts from around the globe in this hands-on, student-focused gathering. Designed for college students eager to build practical skills and explore emerging tech, this event offers an exciting mix of technical challenges, foundational learning, and real-world applications including, but not limited to:
Cloud Forensics in Action
Investigate AWS Security Incidents in a CTF Challenge. Dive into the role of a cloud forensic investigator in this immersive Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge. Students will investigate a simulated AWS security incident involving S3 buckets, EC2 instances, and AWS logging services. Using tools like AWS Athena, CloudTrail, and Linux disk forensics, participants will trace the attacker’s steps and reconstruct the breach timeline.
Software Security Fundamentals
Learn the essential principles of software security and how to apply them in real-world systems. This session covers key concepts such as secure design patterns, threat modeling, and tactics for building robust applications that can withstand modern cyber threats.
AI Risk Management
With AI increasingly integrated into everyday life, understanding its risks is more important than ever. This session introduces students to the growing field of AI governance, including the EU’s new AI Act. Participants will explore how to identify and mitigate risks in AI systems using current risk management frameworks and strategies.
AI Applications in Threat Detection and Response
Discover how AI is transforming cybersecurity operations. Students will explore how machine learning and AI-driven systems can detect anomalies, respond to threats in real time, and support security teams in mitigating cyberattacks more efficiently.
Whether you're curious about cloud investigations, passionate about secure coding, or interested in the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, this summer school delivers practical insights and valuable experience to help you grow as a future cybersecurity professional.
