https://conf.researchr.org/attending/icse-2025/registration
Workshop organisers:
Dr. Nancy R. Mead, SEI Fellow, Carnegie Mellon University, IEEE Fellow, ACM Distinguished Educator
Dr. Bastian Tenbergen, Associate Professor of Software Engineering, Department of Computer Science, State University of New York at Oswego, Oswego, NY
Dr. Yulia Cherdantseva, CyBOK Executive and Editorial Board Member, Reader in Cyber Security, School of Computer Science and Informatics, Cardiff University.
This workshop is a part of a series of activities designed to deliver the international strategy of the CyBOK project. The objective of the project is to explore the levels of adoption of CyBOK across the world, the barriers for the adoption of CyBOK internationally as a foundation for cyber security curriculum design. The workshop will examine the views of the international cyber security education community and software engineering & training communities. Using findings gathered during the workshop, the aim is to produce an action plan for improving cybersecurity education globally.

The event will include:
- A round table to provide a platform for software engineering instructors in higher education and industrial training such as yourself an opportunity to share your approach in cybersecurity instruction, learn about others’ approaches, and discuss in a casual forum the state of the art, gaps, and opportunities in Cybersecurity Education.
- A free seminar on the Cybersecurity Body of Knowledge and its relationship to other bodies of knowledge as well as standardized curricula, and student learning outcomes. We will further discuss free educational resources and explore avenues for easy adoption.
The event will further aim to collect some data on the state of the art that will be made available to you in an anonymized fashion. Data gathering in accordance with US and UK law will collect no personally identifiable information.
The agenda for the event will be roughly as follows:
| 7:00pm - 7:15pm | Welcome and Introductions, Brief Survey |
|---|---|
| 7:15pm - 7:45pm | Introduction to CyBOK - Cybersecurity Body of Knowledge Learn about CyBOK, its structure, content, and benefit, as well as free educational resources available to everyone |
| 7:45pm - 8:45pm | State of the Art in Cybersecurity Education An open discussion* encouraging all participants to share practices, challenges, ideas, and collaboration opportunities for pedagogy in Cybersecurity |
| 8:45pm - 9:00pm | Opportunity Survey*, Conclusion, and Wrap up |
This initiative is funded by CyBOK (https://www.cybok.org), a comprehensive Body of Knowledge developed to inform and underpin education and professional training for the cyber security sector. The CyBOK project aims to distill knowledge from internationally recognised cybersecurity experts and provide much-needed foundations for cyber security. CyBOK is used by the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre to underpin certification of degree programmes and training in cyber security. CyBOK is funded by the UK’s National Cyber Security Programme.
