Abstract

Recently, as the incidents of the security breach and the personal information leakage in public institutions and the major information/communication infrastructure have increased, the importance of the development and training of human resources specialized in cybersecurity, who can immediately respond to this are emphasized. Accordingly, the government has announced policies for the development of human resources, established and operated public sector cybersecurity training centers; however, there is no method for understanding the investment performance and effect of the present cybersecurity education/training in the public sector. For the establishment of a training system and the quality control of continuing education, a method for evaluating the performance of the training is needed, and this can prove the justification of the promotion of the training program and the sustainability of the training center. The goal of this study is to analyze the outcome of education and training in the field of information security and economic return on investment. For this purpose, through literature research on the outcome of the domestic and overseas education and training, this study drew a model that can apply.
