The Ohio Attorney General’s Office launched the CyberOhio
initiative in 2016. Its primary aim is to help Ohio’s businesses fight
back against cyber-attacks.
One of the main components of the CyberOhio initiative is
workforce development, to try to encourage students to consider cybersecurity
as a career, in light of the high demand for workers in that field. To
assist with this, we are developing events for students of various ages so that
they can learn more about cybersecurity.
CyberInspire is a free all day workshop geared particularly
toward female students in grades 6-8. During the event, students will
dive head-first into the exciting world of cybersecurity. Participants will be
split up into four groups and rotate through four one-hour sessions. Each
session will consist of a game or activity that will expose them to basic
computer security concepts. Topics include computer safety, code building and
cryptography.
