NCSC Cyber First ‘Advanced’, Energus.

14th - 18th Aug 2023

A follow-up one week course to the earlier Cyber First ‘Defender’ course that I completed the year previously. I wanted to build upon the things I learnt during Cyber First ‘Defender’ and further develop my understanding of computers and cyber-security in general. I did similar things to the first course, but at a more advanced level.

For example, I had to track down a person using meta data present inside a photo that they took of themselves and also, I had to track down a cyber-criminal using meta data present in files and photos that they sent to us.

I undertook a week long work experience placement at Sellafield Fire & Rescue (SF&R). I wanted to work on the Sellafield site to gain a knowledge and awareness of the size, complexity and procedures to follow while working on the site. During the week I was there I learnt about SF&R and undertook first aid training, used the ‘jaws of life’, how to put on breathing apparatus (BA sets), used fire-fighting equipment like the water cannon and worked as team member with the other work experience students and SF&R staff.
