Building the Cadre of Teaching Professionals To Support CyberSecurity Programs Presenter: Barbara Belon

The Issue  Insufficient numbers of computer security or information assurance professionals  CS/IA professionals either not interested in teaching or not available  Existing faculty lacked computer security / information assurance skill set

Knowledge Acquisition through Industry Training  Networking security  Operations security  Wireless security  Computer forensics  Security Management

Practical Knowledge through Job Shadowing  day assignments  Opportunity to observe  Potential externship sites  Strengthen links to community

Hands-on Experience  Full-semester externships  Grant funds cover adjunct costs  Faculty responsible for new course, module upon return

Engagement with Professional Organizations  InfraGard  ISSA  SIM  SACIA  CISSE

The Result  Knowledgeable faculty  Engaged faculty  Three new security courses Network Security Technology Operations Security Technology Security Management Practices  Two proposed courses Computer Forensics: Summer 2005 Wireless Security: Fall 2005
