We provide cybersecurity education to learners of all ages, both technical and non-technical. Young learners can start with our STEM Summer Camps and progress to our Dual Enrollment offerings for high school students. Individuals looking to train for a career in cybersecurity can explore certificate and degree programs, while those already in the field can build their current skill set through professional development and upskilling. Businesses of all sizes can benefit from our security awareness training and learn best practices in computer and network security.

Spotlight Program: 2022 STEM Summer Camps

June 10, 2020 - Cyber STEM Summer Camps

The start of summer saw the start of our Cyber STEM Summer Camps for middle school students. Even those without background knowledge about computers or cybersecurity will benefit from the Cyber STEM Summer Camps.

These week-long cybersecurity camps engage students in hands-on, experiential learning activities. A variety of topics are covered, including cryptology, electronics, and cyber-sleuthing. Camps are offered in seven locations throughout the state: Billings, Butte, Bozeman, Great Falls, Helena, Miles City, and Missoula. College cybersecurity faculty lead each of the camps.

Our Cyber STEM summer camps provide students with a fun, engaging introduction to cybersecurity. We all know there are risks out in the technological world. Not everyone knows what those risks are, or that they can engage in these risks without even knowing it. Through hands-on, experiential learning activities students begin to learn how to protect themselves and others.

Throughout camp, students work with an external drive known as a Raspberry Pi. This drive will go home with each participant allowing them to apply what they have learned or learn more at home.

STEM Summer Camps

No age is too young to start learning more about cybersecurity. Summer Cyber STEM camps for middle school students are held throughout the state, using hands-on activities to investigate topics like cryptography, password cracking, and geotagging.

Dual Enrollment

Early College courses give juniors and seniors the opportunity to learn the basics of cybersecurity or to earn a Certificate of Technical Studies in Cybersecurity while completing their high school studies. We offer fully online courses that are eligible for Montana's One Two Free program.
Security Awareness Training
Protect Your Business

Can you spot a phishing email?

Do you use the same password everywhere?

Do you use public wi-fi networks?

Consider security awareness training for you and your employees.

Almost 90% of data breaches are caused by human error*; the human factor is the weakest link. Security-aware employees are a primary line of defense in our interconnected world. We offer ongoing, focused training in cyber vigilance tailored to both employees & employers to help you establish best practices in security awareness.

Our monthly, on-demand cyber security trainings address pertinent topics including:
- Securely managing your business devices including phones, laptops, and tablets
- Implementing proven safeguards in a work-from-home environment
- Improving your company's security of data and password information
Ongoing training can with pre-and post-training assessments can decrease human-triggered cybersecurity events and assist in meeting cyber liability insurance requirements.
