Education in Cyber Security: Are We on Target?
Session Type
Concurrent - Includes content presentation and Q & A with audience
Session Description
As the demand for skilled information-security professionals continues to grow, individuals are turning to online graduate degrees...but are educators missing the mark on providing the proper skills? In the information-security field, it is critical that complicated concepts be communicated to leadership and we must ask ourselves if we are leaving individuals incapable of that communication? Educators appear to be falling into a typical education trap where they solely focus on technical skills and are forgetting to the importance of communication and management skills.
