  2. Cyber Security Curriculum • 4 year high school curriculum • Up to 5 technology certifications upon successful completion of each year, each with it’s own earning potential. • Ultimate goal: Certified Ethical Computer Hacker • Hired to protect network defenses for organizations by finding weaknesses in technology security systems. • Tremendous demand for this position today. Currently, many jobs going to foreign nationals because of lack of trained Americans.

  3. Cyber Security Curriculum • Immediate potential for employment with high school diploma • Tremendous lifetime earning potential • On-line, self directed curriculum, with guidance from KWHS staff member • High level security clearances for students finishing all four levels. • Certification to be Level 1A Technician, Level 1 Manager, and Certified Ethical Hacker

  4. Cyber Security CurriculumRequirements • Not necessarily looking for “A” Students • Students who may not be interested in going to college, but want a technical career with responsibility and great earning potential. • Recommended that students must have taken and passed Algebra I. • Enthusiastic, hard worker, self-directed students

  5. Cyber Security CurriculumYear 1: IT Essentials 1 & 2 • 1 elective block (Fall and Spring Semesters) • Overview of computer architecture, stressing underlying design principles and their impact on computer performance. • All things related to desktop computers. • Learning Outcomes: Comp TIA A+ Certification upon successful completion of the certification test

  6. Cyber Security CurriculumYear 2: Cyber Defense 1 & 2 • 1 elective block, Fall • Computer Networks, “Comp TIA Network+” • Introduction to computer communication from an engineering perspective. • Focuses on principles of computer communication and basic concepts of the architecture of computer networks. • Labs used to reinforce concepts and to develop networking skills.

  7. Cyber Security CurriculumYear 2: Cyber Defense 1 & 2 • One elective block, Spring • Advanced Computer Networks, Hardening Basics • Introduces student to vulnerabilities of computer networks, attack forms, countermeasures, and defense systems. • Tools for securing hardware and software are discussed. • Tools and facilities available to intruder and security are discussed

  8. Cyber Security CurriculumYear 2: Cyber Defense 1 & 2 • Certifications upon successful completion of course and test • Comp TIA Network + • Comp TIA Security +

  9. Cyber Security CurriculumYear 3: Programming and Data Structures, I & II • 2 elective blocks Fall • Programming and Data Structures • C++ programing language • Algorithmic problem solving • Syntax and semantics, arithmetic expressions, operators, functional decomposition, file input and output, switch and loop structures, array processing, other related topics. • Lab work

  10. Cyber Security CurriculumYear 3: Programming and Data Structures, I & II • 2 elective blocks, Spring • Advanced Programming JAVA • Object-Oriented Programming course, studies concepts, terminology, and methodologies used in object-oriented systems, languages, and applications • Students will design and implement software systems and develop a thorough understanding of object-oriented (OO) design, systems, and applications. • C++ Portfolio • JAVA Portfolio

  11. Cyber Security CurriculumYear 3: Programming and Data Structures, I & II • System Administration, I & II • 1 elective block, Fall: Computer Systems Technology • Focus on Microsoft Windows 2008 • Designed to provide essential knowledge and skills to implement, administer, and troubleshoot servers in a networked environment. • Labs led through the Microsoft IT Academy E-Learning Suite

  12. Cyber Security CurriculumYear 3: Programming and Data Structures, I & II • 1 elective block, Spring: Computer Systems Technology • Focuses on the Linux Operating System • Provides students with knowledge and skills needed to set-up, administer, and troubleshoot servers in a networked environment. • Topics include security issues, user and group administration, directory and restoration strategies, and techniques, integrated mass storage technologies, and alternate client technologies

  13. Cyber Security CurriculumYear 3: Programming and Data Structures, I & II • Projected outcomes of Year 3: • MCITP Exam 70-646 or MTA Windows fundamentals and MTA Server Fundamentals, Comp TIA Linux+

  14. Cyber Security Curriculum:Year 4: Ethics & Survey of Programming Languages • 2 elective blocks: Fall: IT fundamentals – Skills for Computing Professionals – Ethics • Students learn professional skills needed to be successful in their careers. • Focus on ethical responsibilities. • Writing skills and oral presentations about computer science topics and life skills • Ethical computer issues

  15. Cyber Security Curriculum:Year 4: Ethics & Survey of Programming Languages • Spring: 2 elective blocks: IT Programming, System Penetration Testing • Immerses students in a hands-on environment • Exposure to a different method of achieving optimal information security posture in an organization • Students learn how to conduct penetration testing • Students learn how perimeter defenses work • Students learn how intruders escalate privileges and what steps can be done to prevent and stop them.

  16. Cyber Security Curriculum:Year 4: Ethics & Survey of Programming Languages Goals: • Python, Ruby, and Perl Portfolios • CEH Certification

  17. What can I do with that certification? • A+: Low to medium job availability and employment attractiveness ($10.00 per hour starting pay) • Network + (with A+): Medium to high job availability and attractiveness. Level 1A Technician and Level 1 Manager ($15.00) • Security + (with previous certifications): High to very high job availability and attractiveness ($20 per hour) • Linux+ (with previous certifications): High to very high job availability and attractiveness. ($25-30 per hour) • CIEH (with previous certifications): Very high demand ($30-40 per hour; $120,00 per year after two years. This equates to $3.6 million over a 30 yr. career.)

  18. Consider This: • Currently, it is estimated that there are 300,00 positions available for Certified Ethical Computer Hackers. • If a person earns $120,oo in their 3rd year of employment, they can expect to make $7.6 million ($7,628,725.43) over 30 years, if they receive a 5% raise each year. • If they invest 10% a year in a mutual fund yielding 12% return (the 40 year average), they will have 4.3 million in a retirement account; bringing their 30 year total earnings to nearly $12 million dollars ($12,000,000.”) • Not to mention, companies will be paying these salaries to American workers and not outsourcing.

  19. Cyber Security Summer Camp • When: July 14-18 • Where: King William High School • Who: Middle and High School Students • Meeting Times: 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM • Cost per student: $150.00
