Abstract:

A volunteer group of academics and practitioners embarked on a two-year project to develop a generic reference curriculum on cybersecurity on behalf of NATO and the Partnership for Peace Consortium. This paper provides a brief overview of the result of this work - a curriculum that is recommended as a starting point for any university or training organization considering a program in the field of cybersecurity.
