Cyber News Global presents the inaugural Cybersecurity University Challenge:
An academic challenge which presents the opportunity to create and cultivate a concept for an app which utilizes AI technology to promote cybersecurity awareness and education to those most vulnerable to cyber risks: the younger generation, and the elderly. We are calling for submissions from undergraduate students currently enrolled in university. Those interested in the challenge will form teams of three and collaborate on the project together.
Initiative
In teams of three develop a concept for an app which utilizes AI technology that promotes cybersecurity awareness and education to those most vulnerable to cyber risks: the younger generation, and the elderly.
Be creative in your problem-solving — How has AI Technology been utilized in similar ventures? Is there an overlooked initiative that could help fill the gaps?
How can we make cybersecurity accessible and digestible to both a younger demographic and the elderly?
How will this app improve cybersecurity awareness, and moreover, how will it inspire education, and leave its users with a better understanding of how to spot and avoid cyber risks?
