#DiyakoSecureBow ——————————— A Comparative Study of Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Education Executive Summary Since 2014, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation Cyber Initiative has allocated grants to support interdisciplinary cybersecurity education at universities across the United States, as part of a broader goal to develop a field of cyber policy experts and institutions that can “an- ticipate, analyze, and address [cybersecurity] risks thoughtfully and systematically.”1 This paper presents a comparative study of the interdisciplinary cybersecurity education landscape to guide educational institutions in developing and creating cybersecurity programs. We compiled publicly available information about a selection of 17 interdisciplinary cybersecurity degree pro- grams, with a focus on masters programs offered by Hewlett grantees. We then supplemented our data collection with two focus group meetings with representatives from the programs studied, as well as from recent Hewlett grantees.2 Programs in the study depicted a range of models for interdisciplinary cybersecurity education and a variety of approaches for cultivating diverse and interdisciplinary thinking in the field. These models include dual-degree programs and curriculum requirements that span multiple schools and disciplines, and that are designed to foster cross-disciplinary thinking and develop student competency in both technical and policy-oriented domains. The study revealed a variety of important insights for university leaders to consider as they create or evolve their interdisciplinary cybersecurity programs: Special Thanks CLTC Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity University of California, Berkeley And✌🏼❤️😇 L I S A H O Project Lead Academic Director - Masters in Information and Cybersecurity, UC Berkeley S A H A R R A B I E I Lead Researcher Masters Student - Cybersecurity and Information, UC Berkeley DRAKE WHITE Researcher Masters Student - Information Management and Systems, UC Berkeley https://lnkd.in/e5WhgqpU -Business Secure Continuity- 1402.10.09 —————————————————— #cybersecurity #berkeley #mitreattack #BusinessSecureContinuity

ENISA Released the Cybersecurity Education Maturity Report This study aims to develop a maturity assessment model to evaluate each EU Member State's (MS) cybersecurity education level in primary and secondary schools, providing a comprehensive overview of the EU. Key Findings: - The average maturity level of cybersecurity education in EU Member States is 66%. - Governmental maturity is at 70%, strategic at 64%, and operational at 63%. - Implementation is moderate due to complex stakeholder involvement and prioritization issues. - A bottom-up approach with teacher involvement is recommended but faces challenges like preparedness and resource availability. - High voluntary engagement in initiatives for students helps introduce cybersecurity topics. - A strategic and coordinated approach is needed to integrate cybersecurity education into national curricula. Recommendations: - Strengthen national policies and regulatory frameworks. - Foster cooperation between the public and private sectors. - Engage teachers and professors through targeted training programs. This European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) study is essential to building a secure digital future for Europe. We can boost cybersecurity education and protect our cyberspace by working together!

#UBuffalo is training the next generation of cybersecurity experts. The University received a $3.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation to continue its CyberCorps program. The grant will provide funding to graduate 24 cybersecurity specialists over the next five years. Shambhu Upadhyaya, professor in #UBSEAS Department of Computer Science and Engineering is principal investigator on the grant. "Cybersecurity is the need of the hour," Upadhyaya says. "We are trying to make an impact at UB by engaging in outreach activities in addition to doing research." Learn more about the program: https://lnkd.in/eZHnvFqX

The digital landscape is a battlefield, and educational institutions are not immune from cyberattacks. Recently, Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences in Germany fell victim to a significant cyberattack that crippled its IT systems, disrupting educational operations and highlighting the growing vulnerability of universities in the digital age. This article delves into the details of the attack on Frankfurt University, explores the potential consequences for students, faculty, and the education sector as a whole, and offers valuable advice for universities to strengthen their cybersecurity posture. https://lnkd.in/gQWD-zsR

🚀The Cyber Innovation Centre (CIC) has added $129 million in federal funding🚀 CIC's goals include: - Stimulating innovation-based economic growth through strategic partnerships. - Developing a knowledge-based workforce around STEM-related fields. - Fostering collaboration and serving as a conduit for government agencies, private industries and academic institutions to advance research. - Building critical infrastructure that will attract federal programs to Louisiana and its surrounding region. As part of the $129 million in funding, the Cybersecurity Infrastructure & Security Agency (CISA) provided CYBER.ORG, CIC's academic initiative, with $34 million in financing. This funding will help CYBER.ORG address the shortage of over 570,000 cybersecurity professionals in the United States, CIC stated. It will be used to expand nationwide access to K-12 cybersecurity education, improve cybersecurity literacy and encourage students to explore cybersecurity career opportunities. Great news for the cyber space 👏 #cyberfunding #k12 #education

I would like to thank CPO Magazine for posting my article 'Enhancing Higher Education Security: The Role of Security Service Edge'. Amidst the ever-evolving terrain of modern information technology, the domain of higher education has emerged as a focal point for malicious activities. Consequently, ensuring the safety and security of students, educators, and intellectual property assets has become a top priority at all levels. Educational institutions find themselves in the crosshairs of escalating cyberattacks. The aftermath of these attacks, characterized by data breaches, has yielded not only the compromise of sensitive information but also the disruption of the smooth continuum of academic pursuits. In response, the emergence of Secure Access Service Edge (#SASE) has surfaced as an indispensable solution capable of fortifying the security resiliency of higher education establishments. #cybersecurity #sase #sse #zerotrust #highereducation
