Cybersecurity has critical political, military, economic, social, infrastructure, and information implications for our nation. Effective cybersecurity solutions require initiatives that not only prepare computer scientists to be cybersecurity professionals, but extend security education to all majors to produce a cybersecurity prepared workforce. As cyberspace has become ubiquitous, cybersecurity has become everyone's business. A comprehensive cybersecurity education model needs to reach all students and disciplines impacted by cybersecurity issues. Cyber4All presents a scalable model for Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity education that includes: (1) An interdisciplinary cybersecurity minor--A multidisciplinary team of industry and academic experts will design an interdisciplinary cybersecurity minor that will include foundational security knowledge based on guidelines in cybersecurity education. The minor will also include tracks in critical application areas within the disciplines of health care, e-business, criminal justice, and information technology. This minor will be designed using courses common at most institutions and implemented so all students across all majors can complement their undergraduate degrees with cybersecurity knowledge. (2) A library of interdisciplinary cybersecurity modules? The multidisciplinary team of industry and academic experts will design modules that target core cybersecurity issues that are pertinent to that discipline. Modules will be designed using the Security Injections@Towson framework, which has demonstrated success introducing secure coding in computer science classes. (3) An interdisciplinary cybersecurity ecosystem to build and sustain the curriculum? An ecosystem will be created to include a Cybersecurity Ambassador working with faculty fellows to champion cybersecurity education across the disciplines - health care, e-business, criminal justice, and information technology. Cyber-seminars and workshops will be held to increase faculty interest in cybersecurity, foster diverse perspectives, and promote the minor.

网络安全对我们的国家具有重要的政治、军事、经济、社会、基础设施和信息影响。有效的网络安全解决方案不仅需要让计算机科学家成为网络安全专业人员，还需要将安全教育扩展到所有专业，以培养一支准备好网络安全的劳动力队伍。随着网络空间变得无处不在，网络安全已经成为每个人的事情。全面的网络安全教育模式需要覆盖所有受网络安全问题影响的学生和学科。Cyber4All为跨学科网络安全教育提供了一个可扩展的模式，其中包括：(1)跨学科网络安全辅修课程--一个由行业和学术专家组成的多学科团队将设计一个跨学科网络安全辅修课程，其中将包括基于网络安全教育指导方针的基本安全知识。辅修课程还将包括医疗保健、电子商务、刑事司法和信息技术等学科中关键应用领域的课程。这个辅修课程将使用大多数机构通用的课程来设计和实施，这样所有专业的所有学生都可以用网络安全知识来补充他们的本科学位。(2)跨学科网络安全模块资料库？由行业和学术专家组成的多学科团队将设计针对与该学科相关的核心网络安全问题的模块。模块将使用Security Injections@Towson框架进行设计，该框架已成功地将安全编码引入计算机科学课程。(3)构建和支持课程的跨学科网络安全生态系统？将创建一个生态系统，包括一名网络安全大使与教职员工合作，支持医疗保健、电子商务、刑事司法和信息技术等学科的网络安全教育。将举办网络研讨会和工作坊，以提高教师对网络安全的兴趣，培养不同的观点，并促进未成年人。
