Tune In Nov. 14: Free Web Seminar on IT Security Essential Body of Knowledge for Workforce Development

Created by Valerie M. Vogel (EDUCAUSE) on November 8, 2007

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.

This free November 14 EDUCAUSE Live! Web seminar, IT Security Essential Body of Knowledge: A Competency and Functional Framework for IT Security Workforce Development, features presenter Brenda Oldfield, Director of Education, Training, and Workforce Development, Office of Cyber Security and Communications, U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
