Cyber-AI Camp Coming to Scranton

The University of Scranton this summer will host a three-day Cyber-AI Investigation Camp, engaging participants in games, interactive lectures and hands-on exercises that explore and educate on the topic of cybersecurity.

Rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors are invited to attend the camp at the University's O'Hara Hall. Sessions will be held July 8, 9 and 10 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cost to attend the camp is $399. Additional services, including on-campus dormitories and meals, are available for an additional fee.

The need for trained law enforcement officers, prosecutors and judges with the skills to understand and investigate cybercrime is higher than ever due to the rise in online data breaches, fraud and malicious software. Camp instructors will promote safe online behavior, teach cybersecurity essentials and will end the third day with a team investigation competition at the University's Cyber-Forensics and Cybersecurity Lab. The topics of cybersecurity, robotic investigation and artificial intelligence (AI) will be discussed.

This is the fifth year in which the University's Department of Criminal Justice, Cybersecurity and Sociology is offering this summer program. The University offers undergraduate programsin criminal justice and cybercrime and homeland security, as well as a graduate program in cybercrime investigation and cybersecurity.
