Section 10: This is generally a full year course (CCSA1)
Oftentimes they need more advanced courses to keep rigor.

Recommendation: Depending on time, CCSA1 is an incredible foundation.
(2) Cyber Ops - full on curriculum.
IT Fundamentals
Linux
(1) IT Essentials - A+ would be easiest industry cert for high school students to achieve.
Students probably won't accomplish (???)
Karen can provide scope / sequence.
Cost of exam: 70% or better in class... provided a discount voucher.
Industry cert $300
Instructor training can also be provided.
(#) Most realistic to achieve.

*Instructor Note: This was added to course outline in order to fulfill the training required for CyberPatriot

Section X - Full Year Class Cisco NetAcademy (Introduction to Networks usually takes a full year)
Cisco Academy is not just Networking now.  See the new courses - especially to keep the rigor up. Consider CyberOps Class - 70% discount off the exam if they get a 70% or better on their final exam. Or, the A+ certification.
Look at the Python Classes (Maps to PCAP) on Cisco NetAcad.

(Laura Lee) - in teaching cybersecurity to educators (part of a PhD course by Wilkes University), we use a free assessment that is used by students in education as a personal security assessment and they then use it also to interview their respective schools.  Its a bit dry for high school but I take parts of it and weave it into an assessment to drive home risk.  https://accounts.s2me.io/account/register?utm_source=signature&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=esig-ryan-cloutier

I know the guy who built it and he is very good about volunteering time free to others (he works in Minnesota schools)

Might be a good capstone project for students in CybersecurityII -- "How much have you learned to apply to your own security"

Introductory - Building their own virtual environment in Cyber I as an End-Year Goal Project to continue in Cyber II. (Remote hosting a set of VM's) Still can be done with a Web Browser so that students can have a playground. (Brandon) - MVUSD will not give VPN access. Issue - Pipe everything back to the district office . Determine to we want a private cloud or a public cloud to host VPN. (Write into Grant money the request for private sector provider to assist).

Good point on supply chain. (Is this in curriculum?) "Financial Risk" is referred to, but not risk in general (e.g. risk assessment).
(Jonathan Ocab)

# data[].attributes.body
Learning about how the networks are built - how they work together. (Python, Linux, OS) Dive Deep into the foundations to make the foundation strong!

# data[].attributes.body
Any topic on cyber attacks should include the ATT&CK framework as it is a resource they can continue to use.
Studying attacks as you go through OS or any topic, makes it real.
(Laura Lee)

# data[].attributes.body
A great matrix to include in the curriculum because it provides such a detailed yet high profile view of what attackers are doing to get into / throughout an organization.

(Laura Lee). Keeping the trend of cybersecurity subdisciplines, I was looking for the next level of the HARDEN, MONITOR, PURSUE skills on keyboard. So, if they did coding in the last class, would they learn secure coding or tools to hack applications (weaknesses in coding). I felt this course was a bunch of topics that I could not see the thread building off the last one (for the sub disciplines)

Link to bigger disciplines  like business and/or other course work that it connects to (such as Law being tied to COO)

Also bring in world events. Continue bringing in Case studies and current events.

History is great, before computer basics (OS, hardware, IT) bring in more coding, scripting etc.

Python is good for everyone. HTML is good for coders. Powershell to follow Python.

Hardware starts with Bash scripting.

(Laura Lee) There are 52 works roles in NICE but you can group them into subdisciplines so that a student can go down one path that leads to potentially 10 roles. The sub disciplines I like to introduce in middle/high school: Harden, Monitor, Pursue, Coord/Intel. The harden students are great at HW, networks and OS. The monitor students love analysis, coding and past attacks/packet analysis. The pursue people tend to follow harden and then specialize in penetration testing, vulnerability assessments (CEH things)
