ABSTRACT
In 2003, The National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace was published with a goal to "engage and empower Americans to secure the portions of cyberspace that they own, operate, control, or with which they interact". It called for a "coordinated and focused effort from our entire society" to secure cyberspace. Subsequent updates to this strategy continued to support this idea. This paper addresses Penn College'S effort to develop an introduction to cybersecurity course that addresses this need. Based on the content of our major specific introduction to cybersecurity course, a new course was designed to lower the barriers to entry for non-IT students while at the same time presenting cybersecurity principles in a manner that was applicable to all majors.
