“…This working group will build upon ITiCSE cybersecurity endeavors from 2010, 2011, and 2018 [7,8,9] in expanding cybersecurity development to engage diverse undergraduate programs and interest. The goals of this working group are to: (1) A detailed literature review of current methods used to attract additional students in the field, such as general education, gamification, active learning, pre-college education, conferences, summer camps, and peer instruction.…”

“…This section summarizes prior efforts in global cybersecurity education, based heavily on three ITiCSE working group reports. The first of these reports explored the state of cybersecurity education in 2009 [17]; the second outlined draft curricular guidelines in 2010 [16]; and the third examined cybersecurity education in institutions offering two-and four-year degrees in 2011 [45]. Note that these earlier reports are written in terms of "information assurance," the term commonly used for cybersecurity in that time period.…”

Information security has been an area of research and teaching within various computing disciplines in higher education almost since the beginnings of modern computers. The need for security in computing curricula has steadily grown over this period. Recently, with an emerging global crisis, because of the limitations of security within the nascent information technology infrastructure, the field of "cybersecurity" is emerging with international interest and support. Recent evolution of cybersecurity shows that it has begun to take shape as a true academic perspective, as opposed to simply being a training domain for certain specialized jobs. This report starts from the premise that cybersecurity is a "meta-discipline." That is, cybersecurity is used as an aggregate label for a wide variety of similar disciplines, much in the same way that the terms "engineering" and "computing" are commonly used. Thus, cybersecurity should be formally interpreted as a meta-discipline with a variety of disciplinary variants, also characterized through a generic competency model. The intention is that this simple organizational concept will improve the clarity with which the field matures, resulting in improved standards and goals for many different types of cybersecurity programs.

“…The increasing importance of network security issues has led universities and colleges to focus on the organization of programs to incorporate the fast developing area of information security [8] and to issue curricula guidelines for teaching [5]. Researchers/teachers think about what to teach in computer security courses and how to teach it [10].…”

Abstract-In the last decade, the progress of internet technologies has led to a significant increase in security and privacy issues for users. This study aims to investigate how computer science students perceive computer network security. Thirty three students participated in the study in which we gathered data through a questionnaire. In this paper, we present an analysis that is inspired by the phenomenographic approach. Our conclusion is that the students have different levels of understanding of computer network security depending on their usage of the concepts they have learned, their theoretical or practical orientation to the subject, and their interest in the field.
