Title Towards Effective Cybersecurity Education and Training

E↵ective cybersecurity education and training are important for preparing current and future IT professionals to properly and swiftly deal with real-life security incidents. In this paper we use the main cybersecurity training programs in Japan as a detailed case study for analyzing the best practices and methodologies in the field of cybersecurity education and training. Based on this analysis and our first-hand experience with some of the said training programs, we then define the requirements that must be met in order to ensure e↵ective cybersecurity education and training. Finally, we discuss our research and development endeavor towards creating a framework that meets these requirements, so as to facilitate e↵ective education and training in cybersecurity.
