Their passion for tech, games and other online activities makes them vulnerable to cyber-attacks, cyber bullying, and misinformation. Cyber touches everything.

Therefore, it is important to defend our devices and services from electronic attacks by nefarious actors such as hackers, spammers, and cybercriminals. This program will teach 80 participants about the exciting world of cybersecurity and will provide hands on training on the basics of cybersecurity during workshops on Information Systems, Cyber Defense, Data Communications & Networking, Cryptography, Digital Forensics, the Internet of Things, and Combatting Mis- and Disinformation.

Participant will also be taught the fundamentals of securing computer operating systems such as Windows. They will also learn security features and settings in the operating systems—like password policies—and techniques for updating and creating a stronger, more secure system. Each proposal should meet the following objectives: Strengthen young Moroccans' knowledge of cyber security by exposure to U.S. experts and experience. Equip participants with the right tools to protect them from dangerous cyberattacks against networks, data systems and personal information. Help participants identify and combat mis- and disinformation, particularly from malign international actors. Learn to harness new technologies to confront tomorrow’s security challenges. Increase interest in cybersecurity career. Awardees will work closely with the Embassy’s Public Affairs Office to design and execute the youth cyber security program The activities should be innovative, interactive, and hands-on. The program should target youth ages 18-24 from across Morocco.
