CSE Connect

Yesterday was "Demo Day" for interns on this summer's CSE Connect Experience Accelerator. During this 12-week immersive programme, our interns from University of Roehampton University and Kingston University gave live and practical demonstrations from four projects: - AI-based Interview Simulator - Cloud in a Box - theAppFactory - The Security Testing Lab A very special thanks to Professor Graeme Jones and Dayle Thorpe-Clarke (both key and essential collaborators in organising and running the internship). Also, thank you to our visitors on the day who provided the interns with lots of questions, advice and queries; Nigel Jones, 🟠 Steph Aldridge 🌵, Bev Allen, CISA, Valeen Oseh-Ovarah, CSPO, Nick Abbott, Dipti Sahdev, Nadim Choudhury, Julie Powell, Bev Pullen, Marta Della Libera, Lisa Haskel, and Mastaneh Davis PhD, SFHEA. Finally, well done to our 21 interns for their efforts and commitment during the programme (Ben Forey, Mihir Mistry , Tug O’Flaherty, Adriana Silveira, David Adoh, Siham Bashir Ali, Amir Akerkaou, John Abairo, Badis, Attiq Bashir, Canute D'souza, Trevin Fernando, Eesa Gurling, Aleksandar Ivanov, Balazs Kis, Anton Lukosevicus, Andrea Morales, Harshith Pachhipulusu, Lino Perdrix, Ali Varmazyar, Angelika Krawczuk). This was our biggest Experience Accelerator to date. Thanks to all of you and well done 😊 👍

A massive "Thank You" to all those who attended The 4th Advances in Cyber Security Education conference yesterday. It was our biggest conference to date with Government, Industry and Academia representatives in attendance from Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. The word "community" is often used in an aspirational context. However, based on yesterday's evidence, the Cyber Security Education "community" was not only evident, but clearly thriving! We had the opportunity to experience talks and presentations that were thought provoking, creative, innovative and inspiring across a diverse range of cyber security education themes. Student attendance and contributions were excellent. This included a delegation of our Experience Accelerator interns who travelled from London. While this was a national CSE Connect event, we were also privileged to introduce an international dimension to our activities through the Internatational Cybersecurity Educators Collaborative (ICEC), a network established between UK and US cyber security educators, in partnership with the US Federally funded, National Cyber Security Education Center (NCyTE Center). Our sincerest thanks to all of our collaborators (ISC2), our academic presenters (Arunima Chaudhary, Dr. Harjinder Singh Lallie, Rachael Medhurst, Beth J. Dr Z. Cliffe Schreuders, Anna Clee, Sandra S., Shujun Li, Eckhard Pfluegel, Jacques Ophoff, @Megan Venn-Wycherley, Simon Marsden, Adriana Wilde, Drew Bassett, Alan Mills) and of course to our invited speakers (Alistair Revell, Andy Giles BSc, CISSP, CCSP, GCGI, Patrick B, Zeshan Sattar, Sam Stepanyan, Nigel Jones, Costis Toregas, 🟠 Steph Aldridge 🌵, John Madelin ).

Today saw the launch of this summer's CSE Connect Experience Accelerator. This 12-week immersive programme provides opportunities for interns to rapidly enhance their #employability skills and #work #experience, by working in collaborative teams on #live projects, for #real clients. In just 12 weeks, interns will design, deploy, and evaluate outputs and artefacts for the following projects: - Cloud in a Box - AI Interview Simulator - theAppFactory A very special thanks to Professor Graeme Jones, Martha Mador and Dipti Sahdev for the direction, encouragement and mentoring they provided during today's enthusiastic onboarding event. Thank you to last year's interns (Adriana Silveira, Ben Forey, Mihir Mistry and Tug O’Flaherty) for acting as team and technical leads for this summer's cohort. Good luck to all of our new interns from Kingston University and the University of Roehampton (David Adoh, Siham Ali, Amir Akerkaou, John Abairo, Badis Aoun, Attiq Bashir, Canute Kenneth D'souza, Trevin Fernando, Eesa Gurling, Aleksandar Ivanov, Balazs Kis, Anton Lukosevicus, Andrea Morales, Harshith Pachhipulusu, Lino Perdrix, Ali Varmazyar)
