Within DHS, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) works to enhance the security, resiliency, and reliability of the Nation’s cyber and communications infrastructure. The CISA Cyber Defense Education and Training (CDET) Branch manages programs to assist in developing cybersecurity professionals needed to secure the nation’s cyber infrastructure and information systems. CDET makes investments in resources to educate the Nation to address current and future cybersecurity challenges by building and sustaining an adaptive cybersecurity workforce as a national asset. Increasing the awareness and number of graduates pursuing post-education in cybersecurity related disciplines is key to the success of our Nation. Furthermore, the recruitment and retention of individuals with these skills is an important element in the development of our Nation’s cybersecurity workforce. DHS/CISA, through CETAP, seeks to implement a Cyber-Integrated Curricular Model (CICM), which will accomplish the following goals: Goal 1: Expand awareness of national cybersecurity education and workforce issues. Goal 2: Encourage entry into cybersecurity academic programs and careers through hands-on, engaging cybersecurity-integrated ready-to-use tools. Goal 3: Provide a portable curricular model to aid in replication to all State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial educators.
