Security experts’ capability design for future internet of things platform

Security-related accidents have been occurring frequently in the last few years despite the focus on training security personnel with technical capabilities. Although it is important to be equipped with a technical security system, what is also urgently needed is to cultivate integrative and managerial security personnel. Adept management can not only prevent information and technology leakage caused by their own employees but also establish a security culture. However, in-depth studies on the competency system of personnel suitable for the security field are currently lacking. Accordingly, this paper defined security personnel and various security occupation-specific competencies. In addition, 36 security occupations were classified according to the US NICE classification system. Accordingly, various occupations were evaluated in regards to their suitability to be labeled security jobs, and core competencies were described for each occupation. Specifically, nine security job competencies and three general job competencies were described as core competencies. How the required core competencies vary according to the occupational cluster is also described.
