Quantum Cyber Investigation - QCI, allows students to explore the key concepts of cyber security and apply that understanding to several cyber-crime investigations.
In the first scenario, students assume the role of a cyber security officer as they conduct an investigation to determine who is stealing data from the newly established social media start up, QuickVox.
Students use this information to build a profile on the QuickVox employees under investigation, to determine which employee has compromised their data.
In the second scenario, students assume the role of a cyber security expert as they investigate and follow the trail of the person responsible for credit card fraud.
Each investigation builds student skill set in; lateral and critical thinking, deduction, pattern recognition, data analysis and problem solving, essential skills for the 21st Century workplace.
