Author Description

In this Journal of the 24th Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education (CISSE), contributing authors address key and emerging issues in cybersecurity, cybersecurity education, and related fields. The commitment of The Colloquium to forwarding the field of cybersecurity education has been consistent since 1996, working to bring together government, industry, and academic sectors. The goal of these efforts is to ensure the resilience of our society as we increasingly rely on digital technologies that enable, automate, and enhance so many essential services that we have come to rely on for our way of life. The significance of this work is perhaps becoming clearer to citizens as popular media increases awareness of cyber threats in a time when many have moved to digitally enabled remote work and learning environments to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The papers presented herein, contribute to knowledge at the forefront of a range of research areas in cybersecurity and cybersecurity education. These include authentication and passwords, interdisciplinary and systems thinking, advances in cybersecurity education as influenced by innovations in physics and mathematics, assessment and process improvement of cybersecurity education programs, new methods for engaging students in risk management and social engineering, and new paradigms for understanding cybersecurity.
