About this event

With thanks to the Security, Privacy and Trust research pillar, Pamplin College of Business for sponsoring!

This event is part of the VT Women's Month 2023 program. It is open to all - undergraduate and graduate students from any major, faculty, staff and community members.

A 'holistic' view of security takes people's behavior into account as well as technology. Come and explore a more human view of cybersecurity, as well as those who can contribute to it!

This session is a primer on cybersecurity as a topic and career route. In this workshop, attendees will work together to respond to cyber criminals holding our computers hostage (i.e., a 'ransomware incident').

This event is suitable for those with and without knowledge of cybersecurity.

This event is suitable for those with and without programming or engineering knowledge.

Hosted by the Integrated Security Education and Research Center (ISERC), Pamplin College of Business, Virginia Tech.

The game we use is copyright of The Financial Times Limited 2023. You can check it out over at https://ig.ft.com/ransomware-game.

This is a free event - attendees are invited to bring items for the period products donation drive (e.g., pads, tampons and menstrual cups) hosted by Period@VT.
