Description
Inspired by the U.S. military’s levels of warfare model, we suggest a three-level cybersecurity model around which to orient strata of understanding, expertise, and education in the cybersecurity domain. Informal observation of the current cybersecurity education landscape appears to reveal an imbalance among the levels. We introduce the Integrated Virtual Learning Environment for Cybersecurity Education (IVLE4C) to encourage greater balance. IVLE4C is a tool and conceptual learning model based on six interrelated knowledge domains which, when aggregated, define a modern digital enterprise and its cybersecurity posture. IVLE4C can be used to teach inter-functional and/or intra-functional skills. We contend that IVLE4C can provide three key benefits: improve cybersecurity pedagogy, enhance cross-enterprise training, and advance cybersecurity technology development.
