Do you have the “right stuff” to play the cyber security game? If not how can you get it? In this NISlecture we will outline some extracurricular activities you can participate in as a student to learn and challenge your skills and knowledge of cyber security. Associate Professor Simon McCallum will introduce the Community of Professors (COPS) Doctoral program on Serious Games and Cyber Security. He will also talk about the need for tools (Qrate) and skills for all students, be they bachelor, master or doctoral students, to learn how to ask “the right” critical questions to security cyber space. PostDoc Gaute Wangen will present his experience as a doctoral student and a member of the Norwegian Digital Border Squad in the 2017 Cyber 9/12 Challenge, held annually in Geneva. Further information about the Norwegian Cyber Security Challenge 2017 www.ntnu.no/ncsc will be presented. Professor Stig Frode Mjølsnes will present student extracurricular activities in IIK Trondheim-Campus via Skype. He will present the activities of the ITEMIZe Hacker Club. The ITEMIZE Hacker Club started up in October 2014 by Prof. Mjølsnes. An important goal of ITEMIZE is to actively participate and achieve respectable rankings in the multitude of international hacker contests. These typically take place over two-three days, most often on the weekends, which produce motivation, experience, and new skills. The, ITEMIZE members meet bi-weekly in some available afternoon, to share and discuss solutions to challenges and puzzles in earlier competitions, new exciting hacker stuff, hearsay, tool tutorials, and more. http://itemize.no/contact/ So all students should sign up to attend this NISlecture either in person or online to learn about some serious challenges in your future.
