CyberTraining: CIP: North Central Region Cyber Training Center for Cybersecurity at Dakota State University

必要的网络安全技能与对网络安全专业人员的要求之间的差距是国家科研企业面临的挑战。 该项目将创建一个可扩展的在线培训计划，并为先进的科学网络基础设施开发网络安全方面的具体培训材料，以解决技能差距。 研究人员将与学术和行业合作伙伴合作，确定专门针对先进科学网络基础设施的网络安全技能差距，并为在线项目开发相应的培训材料。 该项目将吸引来自科学研究界的广泛受众，帮助他们发展和扩大先进科学网络基础设施的网络安全专业知识。 因此，正如NSF的使命所述，该项目服务于国家利益，以促进科学的进步;推进国家;并确保国防。该项目将在达科他州州立大学建立一个北中部地区（NCR）网络培训中心（CTC）的网络安全。 CTC的目标是创建一个可扩展的在线网络培训计划，以协助科学网络基础设施专业人员在网络安全方面的劳动力发展。 在线培训计划的目标参与者包括来自两年制和四年制大学的博士后，研究科学家和教师研究人员和教育工作者，以及希望在NCR内外发展网络安全专业的本科生和研究生。 该项目包括网络培训专业人员计划，以增加该计划的影响力，并与行业建立联合工作组，以解决网络安全技能差距的挑战。 这个在线培训计划的亮点是尖端的网络安全课程和动手实验室和作业，以促进和支持丰富的学习环境。该项目将创建一个新的在线培训网站和一个AWS网络安全实验室，以促进培训活动。 该项目还将编制与先进科学网络基础设施有关的具体培训材料，并在线提供给公众。 该计划中包含的培训材料的示例包括合规问题，不同校园的身份管理，科学DMZ和物联网等模块。 CTC计划将为项目参与者带来独特的学习体验。 达科他州立大学将利用其国家安全局指定为学术卓越研究中心（CAE-R）和已经开发和运作的信息安全研究和教育联盟（INSuRE），以进一步促进和扩大网络世界的科学研究。

The gap between necessary cybersecurity skills and the demands placed on cybersecurity professionals is a challenge for the scientific research enterprise of the nation. This project will create a scalable online training program and develop specific training materials in cybersecurity for the advanced scientific cyberinfrastructure to address the skillset gap. Investigators will collaborate with their academic and industry partners to identify cybersecurity skill gaps specifically for advanced scientific cyberinfrastructure and to develop corresponding training materials for the online program. The project will engage a wide ranging audience from the scientific research community and help them develop and expand their expertise in cybersecurity for advanced scientific cyberinfrastructure. Thus, as stated by NSF's mission, the project serves the national interest to promote the progress of science; to advance national; and to secure the national defense.The project will establish a North Central Region (NCR) Cyber Training Center (CTC) for cybersecurity at Dakota State University. The goal of CTC is to create a scalable online cyber training program to assist with the workforce development of scientific cyberinfrastructure professionals in cybersecurity. The target participants of the online training program include post-docs, research scientists and faculty researchers and educators from 2-year and 4-year colleges, as well as undergraduate and graduate students who want to develop specialty in cybersecurity within the NCR and beyond. The CyberTraining Professionals program is included in the project to increase the impact of the program and establish a joint task force with industry to address the cybersecurity skills gap challenge. Highlights of this online training program are cutting-edge cybersecurity curriculum and hands-on labs and assignments to promote and support the rich learning environment. A new online training web site and an AWS Cybersecurity Lab will be created in the project to facilitate the training activities. The project will also develop specific training materials which are relevant to advanced scientific cyberinfrastructure and provided online for public access. Examples of the training materials to be included in this program include modules on compliance issues, identity management on different campuses, science DMZ, and Internet of Things. The CTC program will bring unique learning experiences to the project participants. Dakota State University will leverage its NSA designation as a Center of Academic Excellence in Research (CAE-R) and the already developed and functioning Information Security Research and Education consortium (INSuRE) to further promote and expand scientific research in the cyber world.
