Quantifying Program Offerings with a Cybersecurity Education Maturity Model
Christopher Kreider, Mohammad Almalag · Journal of the Association for Information Systems · 2020
The jobs gap is a problem in cybersecurity whereby there are insufficient number of qualified individuals to fill the jobs in this burgeoning area. Work has been done to understand this gap and close it. A framework for this gap analysis has been identified with 3 key dimensions: program offering, student pipeline and program capacity. This paper seeks to further explore the program offering dimension, developing a model for measuring academic program offerings. The purpose of this framework is to enable further research on efforts to decrease the jobs gap, specifically through state level initiatives and funding.
