Professionalizing the Nation's Cybersecurity Workforce? Criteria for Decision-Making considers approaches to increasing the professionalization of the nation's cybersecurity workforce. This report examines workforce requirements for cybersecurity and the segments and job functions in which professionalization is most needed; the role of assessment tools, certification, licensing, and other means for assessing and enhancing professionalization; and emerging approaches, such as performance-based measures. It also examines requirements for the federal (military and civilian) workforce, the private sector, and state and local government. The report focuses on three essential elements: (1) understanding the context for cybersecurity workforce development, (2) considering the relative advantages, disadvantages, and approaches to professionalizing the nation's cybersecurity workforce, and (3) setting forth criteria that can be used to identify which, if any, specialty areas may require professionalization and set forth criteria for evaluating different approaches and tools for professionalization. Professionalizing the Nation's Cybersecurity Workforce? Criteria for Decision-Making characterizes the current landscape for cybersecurity workforce development and sets forth criteria that the federal agencies participating in the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education-as well as organizations that employ cybersecurity workers-could use to identify which specialty areas may require professionalization and to evaluate different approaches and tools for professionalization.

Global events involving cybersecurity breaches have highlighted the ever-growing dependence on interconnected online systems in international business. The increasing societal dependence on information technology has pushed cybersecurity to the forefront as one of the most urgent challenges facing the global community today. Poor cybersecurity is the primary reason hackers are able to penetrate safeguards in business computers and other networks, and the growing global skills gap in cybersecurity simply exacerbates the problem. Global Cyber Security Labor Shortage and International Business Risk provides emerging research exploring the theoretical and practical aspects of protecting computer systems against online threats as well as transformative business models to ensure sustainability and longevity. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as cybercrime, technology security training, and labor market understanding, this book is ideally designed for professionals, managers, IT consultants, programmers, academicians, and students seeking current research on cyber security’s influence on business, education, and social networks.

A Guide to the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (2.0) presents a comprehensive discussion of the tasks, knowledge, skill, and ability (KSA) requirements of the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework 2.0. It discusses in detail the relationship between the NICE framework and the NIST’s cybersecurity framework (CSF), showing how the NICE model specifies what the particular specialty areas of the workforce should be doing in order to ensure that the CSF’s identification, protection, defense, response, or recovery functions are being carried out properly. The authors construct a detailed picture of the proper organization and conduct of a strategic infrastructure security operation, describing how these two frameworks provide an explicit definition of the field of cybersecurity. The book is unique in that it is based on well-accepted standard recommendations rather than presumed expertise. It is the first book to align with and explain the requirements of a national-level initiative to standardize the study of information security. Moreover, it contains knowledge elements that represent the first fully validated and authoritative body of knowledge (BOK) in cybersecurity. The book is divided into two parts: The first part is comprised of three chapters that give you a comprehensive understanding of the structure and intent of the NICE model, its various elements, and their detailed contents. The second part contains seven chapters that introduce you to each knowledge area individually. Together, these parts help you build a comprehensive understanding of how to organize and execute a cybersecurity workforce definition using standard best practice.

Modern society has become dependent on technology, allowing personal information to be input and used across a variety of personal and professional systems. From banking to medical records to e-commerce, sensitive data has never before been at such a high risk of misuse. As such, organizations now have a greater responsibility than ever to ensure that their stakeholder data is secured, leading to the increased need for cybersecurity specialists and the development of more secure software and systems. To avoid issues such as hacking and create a safer online space, cybersecurity education is vital and not only for those seeking to make a career out of cybersecurity, but also for the general public who must become more aware of the information they are sharing and how they are using it. It is crucial people learn about cybersecurity in a comprehensive and accessible way in order to use the skills to better protect all data. The Research Anthology on Advancements in Cybersecurity Education discusses innovative concepts, theories, and developments for not only teaching cybersecurity, but also for driving awareness of efforts that can be achieved to further secure sensitive data. Providing information on a range of topics from cybersecurity education requirements, cyberspace security talents training systems, and insider threats, it is ideal for educators, IT developers, education professionals, education administrators, researchers, security analysts, systems engineers, software security engineers, security professionals, policymakers, and students.

As our lives become increasingly digital, we are open to cybersecurity vulnerabilities in almost everything we touch. Whether it�s our smart homes, autonomous vehicles, or medical devices designed to save lives, we need a well-educated society who knows how to protect themselves, their families, and their businesses from life-altering cyber attacks. Developing a strong cybersecurity workforce is imperative for those working with emerging technologies to continue to create and innovate while protecting consumer data and intellectual property. In this book, Dr. Heather Monthie shares with cybersecurity education advocates how to get started with developing a high school cybersecurity program.
