Case-based learning for cybersecurity leaders: A systematic review and research agenda
Ashley Anderson, Atif Ahmad, Shanton Chang · Information & Management · 2024
Increasingly, large organisations are turning to cybersecurity leaders to protect their information resources against attack. However, because cybersecurity leadership roles are new, educational literature and practice targeting this role are nascent. In this systematic review, we assess the value of case-based learning (CBL) in educating cybersecurity leaders. We also aim to discover what gaps, if any, exist in this body of research. We find that cybersecurity leaders’ attitudes and metacognitive abilities are important but overlooked elements of their competence, and that CBL has potential to develop these competencies. The article concludes with a competency matrix and agenda for further research.
