CERT-Developed Curricula

In addition to developing solutions for current security professionals, the CERT Program is involved in efforts to train future generations. These efforts include developing curricula that educational institutions can incorporate into their own programs.

Available Curricula

Software Assurance Curriculum
Protecting complex software systems against vulnerabilities and attacks is critical, so there is a growing demand for skilled professionals who can assure the security and correct functioning of software and systems. Recognizing the importance of software assurance education to meet this demand, CERT researchers are collaborating on a software assurance curriculum with a team of educators from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Monmouth University, and Stevens Institute of Technology.

Survivability and Information Assurance (SIA) Curriculum
Today's organizations rely on networked systems powered by fast-changing technology. This reliance makes them more vulnerable to attacks and forces system administrators to seek new approaches to computer and network security. To help them, the CERT Program has developed a downloadable three-course curriculum in survivability and information assurance (SIA). This curriculum offers a problem-solving methodology built on key SIA principles that are independent of specific technologies. These principles form the foundation of the CERT SIA Curriculum.
