CyberSecurity Course for INACAP University of Chile 2018

A few days ago I was in Valencia to give several classes in the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia of the CyberSecurity course students coming from the Institute of Higher Education of Chile (INACAP). The course itself is interesting, You can read the full program here and aims to provide a current and comprehensive vision of information security, both in the most technical phases with classes on vulnerability management, hacking

of programming systems and failures as in the management and basing parts, addressing issues such as risk analysis or certificate management.

This is the second year I have participated in this course and I wouldn’t know who had a better time. If the students or me. It is very interesting to see the concerns of a group of young students who only think about hacking systems, make shells inverse and jumping from one machine to another by the simple fact of learning and having fun. They’re not thinking of scrapping a cryptomoneda ICO. (if you don’t know what a cryptomoneda is because you just got to this blog, I recommend you go through

k «> this entry where we have already discussed them) or in an organized attack, they just do it for the pleasure of learning… and they find it so fun and interesting that on many occasions they don’t even make coffee breaks, they stay on their site testing some of the challenges we pose during the course or reading some of the articles we recommend On the go. For my part it’s just as fun and enriching, let me see what are the concerns and technologies that really concern them and where they see the future and possibilities. So, everyone knew the altcoins market (cryptomonedas and tokens alt).

and they were very interested in the blockchain, beyond technologies such as Big-Data or new changes of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliance.

Yeah, I know you should always have this. ‘feeling‘with the students to get a win-win and that we all come out happy and enriched from the course, but The desire to learn shown by these students is quite striking. in particular. I keep in touch with some of the guys from the 2017 call and I hope that this year’s will also send me from time to time some email with doubts or recommending some article that they found interesting… even if CyberSecurity is a global concern and vulnerabilities affect us all, it is quite significant the change of focus and

occupation that exists between countries, so what concerns Chile has almost nothing to do with what concerns us in Spain… they are not even as’ tied ‘to social networks as we are here, with many less’influencers‘and postage in Instagram… many of this year’s students were not even registered in Instagramsomething totally inconceivable in the university environment of our country.

This is a very recommended experience for both students and teachers who are part of this course and who we hope to repeat next year:
