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(I3P)的合作项目，I3P是达特茅斯学院管理的联盟。该项目的目标是：*通过将信息保障(IA)和商业技能的内容整合到现有的社区学院信息技术(IT)课程中，转移I3P财团的专业知识；*通过教师专业发展提高新汉普郡社区学院提供信息技术教育的能力；*发展资讯科技证书和资讯科技副学士学位，这两个学位均为学生提供所需的知识和技能，以确保本地医疗服务提供者所使用的资讯科技系统的安全。作为资讯科技课程的基础，调查人员现正改编来自网络安全教育联盟(CSEC)的课程，该联盟是先进科技教育(ATE)卓越的网络安全教育中心，以及来自其他ATE中心的课程。在达特茅斯和其他I3P成员机构、医疗保健提供者和企业的专家的建议下，调查人员正在课程中嵌入基本的商业概念，以便学生能够有效地与企业领导人沟通并保护业务流程，以及基于真实世界场景和医疗保健提供者在网络安全问题上的经验得出的问题的案例研究。该证书和IA(医疗保健专业)的AS学位最初在河谷社区学院和白山社区学院试行，着眼于被新汉普郡社区学院系统(CCSNH)的其他学院采用。在课程开发的同时，项目团队正在为CCSNH的教职员工提供基础IA课程的培训，以便系统学院可以通过每个学院的商业和行业扩展计划，为商业和行业的IT专业人员提供IA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.
