Information Systems Security Curriculum Development

在这个项目中，伊利社区学院的教师和纽约州立大学布法罗分校信息系统保障研究与教育卓越中心正在合作开发四门新课程（“计算机与信息安全导论”、“计算机与网络安全”、“操作与数据库安全”、“计算机与网络安全”）。以及“信息系统安全的法律、道德和监管框架”)和信息系统安全（ISS）证书课程，(2)开发一个网站来补充ISS计划，(3)为高中教师举办“培训师”研讨会，并为高中生举办演讲和演示，(4)为行业举办研讨会和短期课程，(5)制定衔接协议，将社区学院项目与四年制学院和大学的相关项目联系起来。新的课程和证书项目在伊利社区学院的所有三个校区提供，利用了其他机构开发的课程和实验室材料，包括纽约州立大学布法罗分校为信息保障硕士级别证书项目开发的课程和实验室材料。新课程整合了国家新兴技术劳动力中心（NWCET）的网络安全技能标准，以及CNSS国家培训标准和CompTIA安全+框架的各个方面。该课程既针对希望学习信息系统安全课程或专攻信息系统安全的传统大学生，也针对希望升级或重新调整技能的行业工作者。该课程的两个显著特点是强调现实世界的问题和问题，以及使用孤立的计算机网络实验室，这将使学生能够参与安全渗透技术和相应对策和保护方法的动手实验。

In this project, faculty at Erie Community College and SUNY Buffalo's Center of Excellence in Information Systems Assurance Research and Education are collaborating to (1) develop four new courses ("Introduction to Computer and Information Security," "Computer and Network Security," "Operations and Database Security," and "Legal, Ethical, and Regulatory Framework for Information Systems Security") and an Information Systems Security (ISS) certificate program, (2) develop a Web site to complement the ISS program, (3) conduct "train-the-trainer" workshops for high school teachers and presentations and demonstrations for high school students, (4) conduct workshops and short courses for industry, and (5) develop articulation agreements to link the community college program with related programs at four-year colleges and universities. The new courses and certificate program, which are offered at all three campuses of Erie Community College, leverage courses and laboratory materials developed at other institutions, including those developed at SUNY Buffalo for a master's-level certificate program in information assurance.The new curriculum incorporates the cybersecurity skill standards of the National Workforce Center for Emerging Technologies (NWCET), as well as aspects of the CNSS National Training Standards and the CompTIA Security+ framework. The curriculum targets both traditional college students who wish to take courses in or specialize in information systems security and industry workers who wish to upgrade or retool their skills. Two notable features of the curriculum are its emphasis on real-world problems and issues and its use of isolated computer network labs, which will enable students to participate in hands-on experiments with security penetration techniques and corresponding countermeasures and protective approaches.
