Towards Effective Cyber Security Education

在更广泛的计算界，关于如何最好地解决教育挑战，培养合格并满足国家网络安全需求的毕业生，存在大量辩论。该项目由ACM教育委员会领导，其主要目的是为解决这些问题做出贡献。一个由来自大学、社区学院、行业和政府的网络安全专家/领导人组成的领导小组正在提供重要的信息和指导，说明如何最好地促进高质量的网络安全高等教育，以及应该采取什么形式。 目前正在出版一份关于结果的独立报告，并广泛提供。最终，这项活动是关于采取初步措施，这将导致一系列新的网络安全专业人员的发展。这方面的影响是相当大的。除了培养能够满足行业，企业和政府需求的熟练毕业生外，这项活动还提高了人们对教育机构内外网络安全教育挑战的认识。预期的结果是提高教师专业知识水平，该领域的博士研究，最终这应该成为某些类型的网络安全研究的刺激因素。

In the wider computing community, there is substantial debate about how best to address the educational challenges of producing graduates who are well qualified and meet the cybersecurity needs of the country. The primary purpose of this project, led by ACM's Education Board, is to contribute to the resolution of these issues. A Leadership Group, composed of cybersecurity experts / leaders from universities, community colleges, industry and government, is providing important information and guidance on how best to stimulate high quality higher education in cybersecurity and what form that should take. A stand-alone report on the results is being published and made widely available. Ultimately this activity is about taking initial steps that will lead to the development of a new set of professionals in cybersecurity. The implications for this are considerable. Apart from producing skilled graduates who can serve industry, business and government needs, this activity leads to a greater awareness of the challenges of cybersecurity education within educational institutions and beyond. Intended outcomes are an improved level of faculty expertise, doctoral studies in the area and eventually this should act as a stimulant for certain kinds of cybersecurity research.
