The Algonquin College School of Advanced Technology, in collaboration with HackingAway.org, has set up a realistic virtual corporate infrastructure to give students a real-life experience. The event, called CyberGonq, is to be held on Sunday, October 27th, from 11:30am to 4pm (+/-).
The event costs $20, which covers setup costs + snacks, lunch and drinks for the event.
Students can apply their classroom learning in a real world situation by competing to attack and defend a “live” company infrastructure from cyber security threats of all kinds.
The goals for the students and the College are to:
– Solidify and expand their knowledge by working in a realistic corporate environment.
– Prepare for future employment by developing many practical job skills that can be immediately applied to help their future employers.
– Algonquin College School of Advanced Technology is proud to fulfill their mandate, and help the students have some fun!
– HackingAway.org is pleased to help organize the event, and glad to motivate the students to keep Hacking Away.
