GENERAL SESSIONS

Proposals

GENERAL SESSIONS

Dates, times and additional sessions will be posted in the coming weeks.

Track 1: Evidence-Based
How can or does cybersecurity instruction or practice impact individual competence development or organizational effectiveness? In other words, what is the efficacy (the ability to produce a desired or intended result) of a proposed tactic, technique, protocol, or procedure? How can we be sure our teaching or the cybersecurity practices included in a curriculum actually work? Sessions in this track can focus on efficacy and assessment of exercises and labs, an entire course, or an entire curriculum, or it can introduce new methods for valid assessments of learning or impact.
