National Cyber Security Alliance and SAIC Team to Educate Students on Internet Safety, Security and Ethics
Ninety-three percent of U.S. teens are online, yet only 20 percent of them say they use good judgment when sharing personal information on the Web - a staggering statistic that the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and the Science Applications International Corporation look to turnaround today as they team to educate children on Internet safety, security and ethics.
SAIC has agreed to fully participate in the NCSA's Cyber Security Awareness Volunteer Education Program (C-SAVE). C-SAVE is a nationwide program that provides IT volunteers with lesson plans and activities to educate students, teacher and parents about how to stay safe online.
C-SAVE was developed by the NCSA to fill a void as cyber education continues to lack support from administrators. Only five states require cyber security be taught as part of its standards of learning.
A U.S. Department of Education veteran, Kim Brodie, designed the C-SAVE curriculum, which is available for free at www.staysafeonline.org/CSAVE.
