Regional Information Systems Security Center (RISSC)

在这个项目中，由Mt.圣安东尼奥学院、长滩城市学院、加州保利·波莫纳学院、加州州立大学洛杉矶分校和加州州立大学北岭分校正在洛杉矶县及周边地区建立网络安全教育途径。该项目建立在之前一笔涉及Mt.圣安东尼奥学院和加州保利波莫纳学院(0302942号国家科学基金会奖)。该项目主要集中在四个方面：(1)劳动力发展：该联盟正在增加完成网络安全课程的学生数量，从证书到学士学位。它还增加了该领域接受网络安全培训的技术人员和专业人员的数量。项目团队正在实施结构化的实习计划，并与雇主合作，评估联盟毕业生进入劳动力市场后的成功。(2)课程开发、修订和传播：该联盟正在更新现有的网络安全课程，并传播经过验证的模型。它正在开发安全编码和软件保证方面的课程；开发网络管理和安全管理以及软件/信息保证方面的教育途径；与K-12学校就课程调整和双重招生进行合作；并确保新的课程与行业和国家标准保持一致。(3)教育工作者的专业发展：该联盟正在为该地区的大学教职员工和K-12教师提供培训和专业发展。该联盟正在举办研讨会、研讨会、“新兵训练营”和其他聚焦于网络安全趋势和实践的活动，并支持教师参加相关的专业会议。(4)拓展和伙伴关系发展：该联盟正在与社区学院、大学、K-12学校、行业和专业组织建立新的伙伴关系，以评估地区需求，并提供满足这些需求的具体计划、活动和课程。该联盟中的所有机构都是为拉美裔服务的机构，都有广泛的学生种族代表。这些大量的少数族裔学生入学，再加上有针对性地扩大到代表性不足的人群，确保了该项目正在为STEM学科中传统上代表性不足的群体提供网络安全教育。该项目的网站(http://rissc.mtsac.edu)提供了指向新的和增强的课程的链接、有关会议和职业发展机会的信息、指向供应商中立和供应商特定认证计划的链接、由项目组成员开发的出版物和演示文稿以及其他资源。

In this project, a consortium consisting of Mt. San Antonio College, Long Beach City College, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State Los Angeles, and Cal State Northridge are building educational pathways in cybersecurity in Los Angeles County and the surrounding area. The project builds on a previous grant that involved Mt. San Antonio College and Cal Poly Pomona (NSF Award No. 0302942). The project has four major concentrations:(1) Workforce Development: The consortium is increasing the number of students who complete academic programs with coursework in cybersecurity, from certificates to baccalaureate degrees. It is also increasing the number of technicians and professionals in the field who are trained in cybersecurity. The project team is implementing a structured internship program and is working with employers to evaluate the success of consortium graduates after they enter the workforce.(2) Curriculum Development, Revision, and Dissemination: The consortium is updating existing cybersecurity courses and disseminating proven models. It is developing curricula in secure coding and software assurance; developing educational pathways in network administration and security management and software/information assurance; working with K-12 schools on curriculum alignment and dual enrollment; and ensuring that new curricula are aligned with industry and national standards.(3) Professional Development for Educators: The consortium is providing training and professional development for college faculty and K-12 teachers in the region. It is hosting workshops, symposia, "boot camps," and other activities focusing on cybersecurity trends and practices, and is supporting faculty to attend related professional conferences.(4) Outreach and Partnership Development: The consortium is cultivating new partnerships with community colleges, universities, K-12 schools, industry, and professional organizations to assess regional needs and provide specific programs, activities, and curricula to address those needs.All of the institutions in the consortium are Hispanic Serving Institutions, and all have a wide student ethnic representation. These large minority enrollments, combined with targeted outreach to underrepresented populations, ensure that the project is providing cybersecurity education for traditionally underrepresented groups in the STEM disciplines.The project's Web site (http://rissc.mtsac.edu) provides links to new and enhanced curricula, information about conferences and professional development opportunities, links to vendor-neutral and vendor-specific certification programs, publications and presentations developed by project team members, and other resources.
