With increased focus on the global computing infrastructure's vulnerability to cyber-attacks - the time is right for security integration across the computer science curriculum to contribute to a cyber-ready workforce. The challenges to integrating security into computer science (CS) curriculum are significant---lack of faculty to teach security, a dearth of effective teaching resources, and little room to spare in CS curriculum. This article describes an initiative that aims to develop faculty expertise in cybersecurity, provide a library of resources for security education, and build a community of CS educators to prepare computing graduates to meet current and future cybersecurity challenges.
