Digital defense training strategy for adolescents: A proposal at the Federal Institute of São Paulo

Abstract

In a society entering the era of the knowledge economy, digital defense learning for adolescents is essential, especially for computer network technicians. This article presents a training proposal conducted at the Pirituba Campus of the Federal Institute of São Paulo and the integrating projects that emerged from this course. The proposal was structured in five information management and security study axes. Forty-two high school students in technical education participated. They presented, from their personal research interests, four works on topics related to digital defense, such as malware, prevention and training, data kidnapping, and cyber-bullying. These projects applied the knowledge obtained and implemented it in the research, which is part of professional education.
