Sohero: Cyber Security

Open Ended

What do we mean by the term "Risk"

Hotspot

Can you identify the risks in this image?

●Last lesson, we looked at an
introduction to the Sphero and
how it can be programmed in
Swift

●We learned about the sequence
Swift operates instructions in
and how we define our language
syntax

What we covered last time

Cyber Security

KS3 Computer Science

Understand what we mean by the term

“Cyber security” and the dangers it poses

to systems

Learn about the ways in which hackers

exploit vulnerabilities in networks

Apply our knowledge of resolving cyber

security risks using Spheroes in a scenario

Learning Objectives

Hackers

●By now, we should all be familiar
with the job role of a hacker

●They attempt to steal user data
from a large company by gaining
access to devices

●As Computer Scientists, we
should all be aware of the
different techniques hackers
might utilise in order to steal
your data

●Can anyone name any
examples?

Match

Below are a list of techniques hackers use to gain access to user data. Match up the keyword to the correct definition

• A technique where hackers are able to see data unencrypted data being sent around the network

• A form of malware which is downloaded to a computer to delete important system data

• A form of malware which disguises itself as useful software but actually damages your computer instead

• A technique where hackers exploit weak points in code which is only present on older versions of software

• A technique where hackers deploy psychological tactics to gain access to your information

Hacker Havoc

●Split yourself into two teams

●Hackers: Your job is to reach the
other teams goal

●Cyber Security: Your job is to
prevent the hackers from
reaching your goal

●Teams can’t manually control
the robot and may only program
instructions

●Each team will run their code at
the same time

●After each round, you may want
to change your code to bypass
the other teams changes
