About this Award and Achievement
Nurturing Future Cyber Defenders | At the Cyber Defenders Discovery Camp held in June 2017, 400 students from 26 junior colleges, Integrated Programme schools and tertiary institutions sharpened their cyber defence skills and gained first-hand insights into a career in cybersecurity.
Held at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), the camp kicked off with lectures and hands-on activities to build up the participants’ foundation in cybersecurity techniques. They learnt how to conduct security assessments of IT networks, perform network monitoring and analysis, and even mount cyber incident responses. As training was carried out in a highly-realistic simulated IT environment, they were able to understand and put the theories into practice effectively.
