The rapid growth of technology and related fields has led to creation in academia to match the expansion demand for IT professionals. One of the current majors that attract attention in industry is cybersecurity. There is a great need for individuals who are skilled in cybersecurity to protect IT infrastructure. Coaching a security-focused workforce has become the target of government agents, industry, and academic institutions. As research and academic faculties respond to this growing demand, evolving curriculum and methodologies for teaching cybersecurity graduates still need to be formed comprehensively. There have been few researches to define and assess the student outcomes in cybersecurity. This paper presents a step forward by developing Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) and the desired assessment method to measure those outcomes. This research contributes to academia and training institution by defining the SLOs and suggests preferable assessment methods in cybersecurity. This initial research is based on a qualitative study of academician evaluation of cybersecurity courses. The paper presents the result of interviews along with discussions of ongoing and future suggestions.

Nevertheless, in the case of associating clod application with mobile technologies, the matter of physical security has to be also addressed to the employees that are using these mobile technologies (Scheponik et al, 2016). This fact reinforces the idea that accountants play a vital role in maintaining data privacy.…”

Abstract:This study investigates whether aspiring and professional accountants understand the benefits and security challenges brought by emerging technologies such as: Big Data, data analytics, cloud computing and mobile technologies. 115 participants took part in a survey during January and February 2017, all having at least one year of practical experience in accounting or audit and 80% of them being affiliated with national or international accounting professional bodies. The research has three key findings: (1) Professional accountants and auditors are having in average a theoretical knowledge of the emerging technologies in the accounting field, but they still need to enhance their skills to exploit them efficiently, (2) Mobile technologies started to be adopted by the Romanian practitioners and (3) The profession has become aware of the security risks brought by emerging technologies in the digital accounting. The accounting profession is on the verge of change and the practitioners do not yet possess sufficient skills regarding the analyzed emerging technologies. As per this, the professional bodies and academic environment should reassess their curricula to enforce the necessary changes for preparing practitioners to successfully face the future challenges and avoid their replacement by other professions more qualified.
