Our Approach

What We Do

Cyber Inland Youth is the K–12 exploration arm of the IECI, delivering immersive cybersecurity training that builds the region’s cyber workforce from the ground up.

Hands-On Cyber Training

Students step into real cybersecurity roles - monitoring threat feeds, triaging alerts, analyzing incidents, and defending networks using industry-standard tools and techniques.

Cloud-Based Labs

Every student gets a browser-based Ubuntu Virtual Machine (VM) on Google Cloud Platform. No installs, no barriers - just open a browser at lab.cyberinlandyouth.camp and start defending.

NICE Framework Aligned

Curriculum mapped to the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework, giving students exposure to recognized work roles and a head start on career pathways in cyber defense.

Community-Powered Pipeline

Part of the Inland Empire Cybersecurity Initiative, connecting K–12 exploration to paid apprenticeships and full-time cyber careers through CSUSB and regional partners.

Coalition

Our Partners

A coalition of education, industry, and community organizations building the Inland Empire’s cybersecurity workforce pipeline.
