About this Event

CAN YOU SOLVE THE BREACH?

A system has been compromised. The evidence is waiting.

During Project IronGate, students will step into the role of cybersecurity professionals and work together to investigate a simulated cyber incident. Through hands-on challenges, participants will examine digital evidence, uncover clues, and use problem-solving skills to determine what happened.

Students will explore how cybersecurity professionals use digital evidence, passwords, encryption, network clues, threat detection, and critical thinking to protect systems and investigate cyber incidents.

The mission? Follow the evidence. Solve the challenges. Uncover the truth behind Project IronGate.

No cybersecurity experience is needed! This bootcamp is designed to introduce students to cybersecurity in an engaging, beginner-friendly environment.
