Cyber2yr2020 - New ACM Cybersecurity Guidance
After an intense curriculum development effort, the ACM Committee for Computing Education in Community Colleges (CCECC) has published Cybersecurity Curricular Guidance for Associate-Degree Programs, known as Cyber2yr2020. These guidelines are based on ACM's CSEC2017 guidelines for 4-year programs, with additional influence from the CAE-CD 2Y 2019 knowledge units (requirements of the NSA and DHS National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense) and the NICE cybersecurity workforce framework.
The Cyber2yr2020 curriculum framework contains 58 competencies across eight security domains plus cross-cutting concepts. Each domain is further divided into subdomains with associated learning outcomes. In addition to downloading the published Cyber2yr2020 document, we offer interaction with the curricular content on our web site by going to Curricular Guidance->Cybersecurity.
We are currently soliciting program examples, which correlate the courses in a degree or certificate at a given school with the competencies in Cyber2yr2020. For more information, see Program Examples.
Watch the National CyberWatch Webcast on Cyber2yr2020.
Call for Program Examples
The CCECC invites institutions to highlight their cybersecurity program by submitting a program example showing how their curriculum correlates to Cyber2yr2020.
