Embedding Cybersecurity in the Computer Science curriculum – Phase 2 - HEA Annual Conference 2017 - Generation TEF: Teaching in the spotlight

The aim of this paper is to present the findings from a project on integrating Cybersecurity into the Computer Science curriculum in Higher Education programmes. In 2013 an initiative was set up by (ISC)2 CPHC and the Cabinet Office to examine embedding Cybersecurity into undergraduate Computer Science degrees. A series of workshops were held throughout 2013 and 2014 and the output from these was a set of principles focussing on Cybersecurity education and a framework for embedding these principles in UK Computing Science curricula. 9 interactive workshops were held in March and April 2016 with over 100 participants from over 60 UK HEIs exploring ways in which the framework could be applied. The findings were shared at the HEA Conference on Learning and Teaching in Cybersecurity in June 2016. This paper provides an update (following on from Feb 2017 update) on the ongoing work and a summary of the discussions highlighting opportunities and challenges from the current phase of the project.
