The Future of Cyber: Educating the Cybersecurity Workforce

The culture of computers and information technology changes quickly. The Future of Cyber Podcast series explores the future of cyber and whether we can use the innovations of the past to address the problems of the future. In our latest episode, Bobbie Stempfley, director of the SEI’s CERT Division, interviews Dr. Diana Burley, executive director and chair of the Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection, or I3P, and vice provost for research at American University. Their discussion focused on educating the cybersecurity workforce in a way that closes the gap between what students are taught in school and the skills they’ll need to use in the workplace.
