Program Overview

Beaver Works Summer Institute offers students a chance to learn and apply cyber security concepts in a pilot course titled Cyber Operations. The program will introduce students to techniques for conducting full-spectrum cyber operations from: networking, system administration, cyber threat intelligence, network defense, digital forensics, malware analysis, and to offensive security.  Topics & themes are routinely emphasized in layered repetition. Beaver Works invites Guest Lecturers and Subject-Matter Experts from Industry to collaborate with and to contribute field experience to the world-class education. Students operate both individually and as teams to solve complex problems via the crawl-walk-run methodology. Students are empowered to lead their peers through communication and through shared responsibility & foster comradery. This will culminate a digital field training exercise (FTX) or capstone event consisting of several mystery tasks derived from several phases of the course.
