29.  CyberPatriot is the premiere national high school cyber defense competition created to inspire high school students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines critical to our nation’s future.

30.  designed to give hands on exposure to the foundations of cyber security.  CyberPatriot is not a hacking competition.  CyberPatiot's goal is to excite students about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education  http://www.uscyberpatriot.org/about/Pages/default.aspx

31.  A CyberPatriot team consists of five students and up to five alternates. Each team must have a coach, normally a teacher or JROTC/CAP Leader.  The coach does not have to have any technical expertise, and generally serves as an administrator for the team.  Competitors must be at least 13 years old and enrolled in grades 9-12.  Teams will have mentors (technical advisors) to help students prepare for the competition.

32.  an Advanced Technological Education (ATE) Center  Headquartered at Prince George’s Community College  Funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). “Creating the Next Genereation of Cybersecurity Professionals”  http://cyberwatchcenter.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=29

33.  mission is to increase the quantity and quality of the information assurance (that is, cybersecurity) workforce.  The CyberWatch goals are focused on information assurance (IA) education at all levels, from elementary through graduate school, but especially the community college level

34.  The CyberWatch goals include curriculum development, faculty professional development, student development, career pathways, and public awareness

35.  The National Center of Academic Excellence for Information Assurance 2 Year Education (CAE2Y), is a means of providing recognition to institutions that serve as a model for two- year schools by providing innovative, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary education and training in the IA field.

36.  While the CAE designation, which is a joint program of the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has been available to four- year schools for the past 13 years

37.  the community colleges and their IA programs became eligible for this designation for the first time in 2010.  CyberWatch and its lead institution, Prince George’s Community College, worked closely with the three federal agencies, NSA, DHS, and the NSF to make the CAE2Y a reality

38.  While the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS) 4011 National Training Standard for Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) professionals provides a degree of standardization in technical courses, it does not provide a holistic review of the program, faculty capacity, institutional support, and other related aspects.

39.  Standardization of Curricula – CAE2Y represents a standard of IA curriculum accepted in the academic and professional communities.  Articulation - CAE2Y communicates to four- year institutions the quality and nature of a community college’s IA curriculum, thus facilitating articulation agreements.  Student Recruitment – CAE2Y is an attractant for students in the external and internal community.

40.  Student Job Placement – CAE2Y designation increases the opportunities for program graduates to find jobs. Industry understands better the skills students graduating from a CAE2Y program posses.  Industry Recognition and Support – CAE2Y provides industry recognition for the purposes of securing training contracts and industry support for grant applications.  Community Recognition – CAE2Y is a recognition respected and appreciated by the local and political community.

41.  The gap between 2-year Community College and major 4 year universities  Need for a Bachelors in “Technology”  i.e. Indiana does not have a pathway to its major universities that will incorporate the technology classwork from the community college level.

42.  1. Have a robust IA program  2. Complete the prerequisites – complete the mapping process by 31 August of the year submitting for CAE2Y and acquire TWO CNSS certifications  3. Address all criteria and complete the CAE2Y application on time (~January 15th)  4. Submit the CAE2Y application

43.  An institution applying for the CAE2Y designation must have an approved IA program, qualified faculty, and institutional support. Prior to submitting an application for the CAE2Y designation, IA courseware must be certified under the IA Courseware Evaluation Program http://www.nsa.gov/ia/academia/iace.cfm?M enuID=10.1.1.1l  Certification of TWO CNSS training standards are required: CNSS 4011 and one other.

44.  4011 - National Training Standard for Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Professionals  4012 - National Training Standard for Senior Systems Managers (SSM)  4013 - National Information Assurance Training Standard for System Administrators (SA)  4014 - National Training Standard for Information Systems Security Officers (ISSO)  4015 - National Training Standard for Systems Certifiers  4016 – National Training Standard for Risk Analysts  http://www.cyberwatchcenter.org/images/CW/CAE%20Webinar%20Handouts.pdf

48.  Cybersecurity is a National Defense concern  YOU need to understand its importance and use your position to see that cybersecurity finds its way into each and every curriculum  Cybersecurity at all levels of education: K-12, Community Colleges, and 4yrs institutions.  CCDC – CyberWatch and CSSIA brings a hands-on, real approach to education.  We can meet the Cyber Warrior needs with a change in current Culture.

49.  Must train faculity  Find funding (NSF, ATEs, grants)  Find the will to get this done  MATH took over a century Cybersecurity can’t wait
