Tiffin University to Host Cybersecurity Summer Camp

Tiffin University will host its first-ever Cybersecurity Summer Camp, June 10 through June 14 on campus.

The camp is open to high school students entering their junior or senior year.

TU's Cybersecurity Camp will provide students with a gateway to essential cybersecurity concepts, where they will explore topics including ethical hacking fundamentals, social engineering techniques, countermeasures and network defense. By following the International Council of E-Commerce Consultants (EC-Council) course outline, students will gain the skills needed to pass the certification exam. EC-Council is the world's largest cybersecurity technical certification body and provides a range of professional certifications tailored to the IT security domain including disaster recovery, software security, digital forensics, foundational IT security expertise and more.

"This week-long immersive experience equips high school students with the essential skills of ethical hacking. It takes place in our state-of-the-art cyber operations center and upon successful completion, participants will walk away with a recognized certification," said Sean Glieberman, Executive Director of the Center for Cyber Defense and Forensics. "Students who wish to enroll in the undergraduate cyber program upon high school graduation can take their cyber skills to the next level by joining our nationally recognized Ethical Hacking Team. Compete, collaborate and gain practical experience alongside other passionate defenders!"

Zachary Wuensch, Instructor of Cyber Security & Computer Science said, "Cybersecurity is a fast-growing field and this camp will give interested students the opportunity to start their journey to becoming a cybersecurity professional."

The cost of the camp is $600 per student, including room and board. Campers will stay in a single dorm room. Space is limited to 24 campers, so interested students are encouraged to register as soon as possible. For more information and registration, visit tiffin.edu/admissions/camps.
