Behavioral Cybersecurity: A needed aspect of the security curriculum

摘要

As more concentrations in cybersecurity in the computer science undergraduate curriculum are being offered to meet a high demand, these offerings have not reflected a major concern of cybersecurity researchers, namely that there is little emphasis on the behavioral questions involved in the study and analysis of cybersecurity events. To this end, Howard University has introduced an upper division undergraduate course to complement its cybersecurity course offerings, called ???Behavioral Cybersecurity.??? This paper reviews the course development, pedagogical choices made, and outcomes of its initial offering.
