Computer security is the process of preventing and detecting unauthorized use of your computer. Prevention measures help you to stop unauthorized users (also known as "intruders") from accessing any part of your computer system. Detection helps you to determine whether or not someone attempted to break into your system, if they were successful, and what they may have done. Securing your computer is not a trivial task. There are many topics to consider and many steps to follow. They take time to learn and do. If you can, attend this workshop before you begin to secure your computer. You’ll have a better understanding of the effort and all its facets.
In response, to the needs to reach culturally diverse students with technically relevant, Regional Information Security Systems Center (RISCC), and Computer Science Department at California State University, Dominguez Hills is offering a Computer Security workshop.
The workshop is intended for every person teaching high school computer science. Whether you are a seasoned Computer Science instructor or run an after-school computing club, please consider attending this invaluable event.
