About the Bootcamp

The PSU Cybersecurity Bootcamp is an intense 3-day in-person training opportunity that will help PSUs fully leverage the NCDPI K-12 Cybersecurity Program services and resources, from KnowBe4 training and phishing campaigns to incident response planning. Ideal for technology directors, IT managers, and cybersecurity specialists, the Bootcamp provides practical guidance to strengthen your PSU’s cybersecurity posture and take full advantage of the NCDPI K-12 Cybersecurity Program.

What to Expect

While attending the PSU Cybersecurity Bootcamp, you can expect a comprehensive look at the entire K-12 Cybersecurity Program, while also getting numerous opportunities to sit down and work on the items being discussed. Each day is a single-track schedule with sessions that touch on each major program service offering. After each session, however, attendees will have the option to sit down with the session’s presenter for an hour to discuss follow-up questions and get some hands-on assistance!
