Program Development in Cybersecurity with Focus on Business and Healthcare Concepts

该项目是河谷社区学院和信息基础设施保护研究所（I3 P）之间的合作，I3 P是由达特茅斯学院管理的一个财团。该项目的目标是：* 通过将信息保障和商业技能的内容纳入现有的社区学院信息技术课程，转移I3 P联盟的专门知识;* 通过教师专业发展，提高新罕布什尔州社区学院提供信息保障教育的能力;和 * 开发一个证书在IA和一个副理学士学位在IA，这两项课程都为学生提供了确保当地医疗保健提供商使用的IT系统安全所需的知识和技能。作为IA课程的基础，调查人员正在改编网络安全教育联盟（CSEC）的课程，先进技术教育（ATE）中心的卓越网络安全教育，以及从其他ATE中心。在来自达特茅斯和其他I3 P成员机构、医疗保健提供者和企业的专家的建议下，研究人员将基本的商业概念嵌入课程中，以便学生能够有效地与商业领袖沟通并保护业务流程，并根据现实世界的情况和医疗保健提供者的网络安全问题经验中得出的问题进行案例研究。IA的证书和AS学位（以医疗保健为中心）最初在河谷社区学院和白色山脉社区学院进行试点，着眼于被新罕布什尔州社区学院系统（CCSNH）的其他学院采用。在课程开发的同时，项目小组正在为CCSNH教师提供基础IA课程的培训，这样，系统学院就可以通过每个学院的商业和工业外展计划，为商业和工业中的IT专业人员提供IA方面的培训。

This project is a collaboration between River Valley Community College and the Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection (I3P), a consortium managed by Dartmouth College. The goals of the project are:* to transfer the expertise of the I3P consortium by integrating content in information assurance (IA) and business skills into existing community college information technology (IT) curricula;* to increase the capacity of New Hampshire's community colleges to provide education in IA through faculty professional development; and* to develop a certificate in IA and an Associate of Science degree in IA, both of which give students the knowledge and skills needed to ensure the security of the IT systems used by local healthcare providers.As the foundation for the IA curriculum, the investigators are adapting courses from the Cyber Security Education Consortium (CSEC), an Advanced Technological Education (ATE) center of excellence in cybersecurity education, as well as from other ATE centers. With the advice of experts from Dartmouth and other I3P member institutions, health care providers, and businesses, the investigators are embedding into the curriculum essential business concepts, so that students can effectively communicate with business leaders and protect business processes, and case studies based upon real-world scenarios and problems derived from the experience of healthcare providers with issues of cybersecurity. The certificate and the AS degree in IA (with healthcare concentration) are initially being piloted at River Valley Community College and White Mountains Community College, with an eye toward adoption by other colleges in the Community College System of New Hampshire (CCSNH).Concurrent with the curriculum development, the project team is providing training to CCSNH faculty in foundational IA courses, so that system colleges can collaboratively offer training in IA to IT professionals in business and industry through each college's business and industry outreach programs.
