CyberTech Girls: Cybersecurity in a Day

Ahhhhh!! I am SO tired but today was so much fun!! Today, I attended CyberTech Girls, an event held at Coastline Community College for girls to explore a bit of cybersecurity all packed into one long day! We learned about the challenges with gender diversity in the cybersecurity field and we also spoke to IT professionals.

The day began with some morning snacks and then we were off to our workshops! My favorite workshop was the Capture the Flag workshop. During the workshop, you work collaboratively with your team to try to capture as many flags as you can by answering questions relating to cybersecurity. I also really enjoyed the workshop on triage, which was a mock investigative crime scene where we had to collect evidence and submit it into the data portal on the desktops.

Overall, I had such a fun and memorable time with my friends at CyberTech girls. I can't wait to experience more cybersecurity events in the future 🙂
