SaTC-EDU:EAGER:A Wiki Space for Information Security Education Exchange

在美国，信息安全仍然是一个持续存在且日益严重的问题，因为人们越来越依赖信息技术和系统来提供关键服务，并使社会的当代生活方式成为可能。计算经济倾向于性能和功能，而不是安全性，而且这种情况可能会持续一段时间。这种环境是由教育项目的毕业生创造的，这些项目可能会被认为缺乏对新信息时代相关安全影响的重视。教育经济学也与网络安全教育对立。网络安全教育是一项资源密集的工作，需要随着技术的变化和进步定期更新课程。提供持续课程发展所需的专门知识水平也是一个障碍，它减少了能够有效跟上技术进步的机构的数量。这个项目的目的是创建一个共享社区，由来自学术卓越中心（CAE）信息保障项目的教育工作者和那些希望为他们的项目开发更好的教育资源的人组成。这个社区将通过社区维护的在线wiki得到加强。中介wiki平台将协助将资源和工具映射到知识单元（KU）系统，以覆盖网络安全所需的学习领域。这个wiki将允许共享教育材料，包括文本、实验、工具和考试。该项目将减少教育工作者为快速发展的网络安全领域建立和重组课程所需的工作水平。

Information security remains a persistent and growing problem in the United States due to ever-progressing reliance on information technologies and systems to provide critical services and enable society's contemporary way of life. The economics of computing favor performance and functionality over security and may continue to do so for some time. This environment is created by graduates of education programs, programs which can be argued to be lacking in emphasis on security impacts associated with this new information age. The economics of education are also pitted against cyber security education. Cyber security education is a resource intensive endeavor that requires program refreshes on a regular basis as technology changes and advances. The level of expertise necessary to provide continual curricula development is also a barrier, which reduces the number of institutions that are able to effectively keep up with the advancement of technology.The purpose of this project is to create a sharing community of educators from institutions in the Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) program for Information Assurance and those wishing to develop better educational resources for their programs. This community will be reinforced with an online wiki maintained by the community. The mediated wiki platform will assist in the mapping of resources and tools to the Knowledge Unit (KU) system emplaced to cover the required learning areas in cybersecurity. This wiki will allow sharing of educational materials, including texts, labs, tools, and exams. This project will reduce the level of work required from educators to build and retool classes to the rapidly evolving field of cybersecurity.
