Abstract

It is often difficult to meaningfully convey concepts like security incident management cycle, information sharing, cooperation, as well as the roles of people, processes and technology in information and cybersecurity courses. Such complexity requires immersive and interactive learning based on continuous cooperation between industry and academia. In this paper we highlight the ongoing industry/university cooperative effort towards an cooperative schema to enforce the Information Security and Cybersecurity Curriculum development within an existing Master of Computing.
