MOOSE Cyber Security Learning Progression

Cyber Security

As we live in an increasingly technological world, we are faced with complex decisions around our identity, livelihoods, and social well-being. Navigating this environment and understanding the risks we expose ourselves and others to on a regular basis can be important to living our lives. The landscape asks us to balance risks with opportunities, both personally and professionally.

What is Cyber Security? Cyber Security, for our purposes, centers around being safe online. Every time we go online there is information being created about where we are, what we look at, who we talk to and what we buy. It is important to understand what it means to be online so we can navigate it while keeping those close to us, and ourselves, safe.
