What the Profession of Cybersecurity Needs to Know and Do

Building a thematic framework of cybersecurity: a systematic literature review approach

“…Moreover, future research should focus on collecting data samples from regions that have not received much attention, with a critical need for empirical evidence to address these gaps. Because the demand for cybersecurity professions is on the rise and more than 700,000 cybersecurity positions remain unfilled in the USA (Rende, 2023), it is recommended that future studies should collect viewpoints from cybersecurity professionals, as they play a crucial role in ensuring the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures (Shoemaker et al, 2019).…”

“…The cybersecurity industry should take steps to ensure that the practical implementation of cybersecurity involves the development and utilization of a comprehensive, accurate and highly efficient set of clearly defined and universally recognized controls (Shoemaker et al, 2019). To overcome the diversity of cybersecurity policies, this paper provides insights into the factors affecting cybersecurity implementation in organizations and how they can be addressed to improve cybersecurity practices within organizations, based on empirical studies in the past 10 years across various countries.…”

Cyber as a Second Language? A Challenge to Cybersecurity Education

“…The Cybersecurity Body of Knowledge (CyBOK) project approach to knowledge area development, for example, is similar to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (the SWEBOK); with an acknowledgment there is no extant cybersecurity taxonomy and the education landscape remains dominated by technocentric frameworks [5]. The eight knowledge areas within the Cybersecurity Education Curriculum (CSEC) body of knowledge have previously been discussed in the literature [19]. We show a distinct lack of any consideration to the EAL cybersecurity learner in predominant education frameworks.…”
