Summary
SheSecures is an initiative that seeks to provide women with a fun and practical way to strengthen their technical skills through virtual cybersecurity exercises.
Details
Aim
SheSecures is an initiative through which the OEA/CICTE seeks to contribute to closing the gender gap in cybersecurity and promote diversity in this industry, encouraging and inspiring women to develop their technical skills and learn more about this field.
Activites
SheSecures consists of an online national cybersecurity exercise composed of 6 technical challenges based on real scenarios and the experiences of distinguished women in STEM. Participants must complete the challenges to advance to the next levels and obtain points. At the end of the exercise, the participants who obtain the highest number of points will win prizes.
This exercise is aimed at women 16 years of age and older that want to develop their technical skills and enter the cybersecurity industry. The exercise will address topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Incident Response, Cryptography, Web Hacking, and Forensic Analysis, among others. If you don’t have prior knowledge about these topics, don’t worry, as you can request hints to complete the challenges if you ever get stuck. To participate you only need to have Internet connection (without specific restrictions on outgoing traffic), and a computer with a Windows, Linux, or MacOS operating system, with the ability to install tools.
