Evie McGrady: Cybersecurity in School Education
A DEF CON 32 talk on the need to teach cybersecurity and digital privacy in schools. Although computers and the internet have long been part of education, many countries still lack structured programs that teach children how to stay safe online.
The talk explains why students should learn about data protection, phishing, online fraud, and safe internet behavior from an early age. It also discusses how schools themselves need to defend against threats such as ransomware attacks and data breaches.
