Reminder -- Tune In Nov. 14: IT Security Essential Body of Knowledge for Workforce Development

[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

The next EDUCAUSE Live! Web seminar, IT Security Essential Body of
Knowledge: A Competency and Functional Framework for IT Security
Workforce Development (featuring presenter Brenda Oldfield, Director of
Education, Training, and Workforce Development, Office of Cyber Security
and Communications, U.S. Department of Homeland Security), may be of
interest to the participants of this list. Please note that this event
is free, but you will need to register online:
http://www.educause.edu/LIVE0722.

The Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division
worked with subject matter experts from government, the private sector,
and academia to develop an umbrella framework that establishes a
national baseline representing the essential knowledge and skills IT
security practitioners must have to perform their jobs. The IT Security
EBK builds directly on established work and is not intended to represent
a standard, directive, or policy by DHS. Instead, it further clarifies
key IT security terms and concepts for well-defined competencies,
identifies notional security roles, and defines primary functional
perspectives to help advance the IT security training and certification
landscape as we strive to ensure that we have the most qualified and
appropriately trained IT security workforce possible.

Those unable to attend may wish to visit the archives

Thank you,
Valerie
