The NSA/CSS program to identify National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2019. The success of this program in certifying over 270 programs has greatly influenced how many institutions are developing and evolving their Cybersecurity curriculums. On November 30, 2018 ABET announced their accreditation criteria for Undergraduate Cybersecurity Programs. This effort by one of the primary accrediting agencies in higher education will be sure to also exert great influence over the future direction of Cybersecurity programs.

The IS2020 is a joint ACM and AIS initiative that, for the first time since 2002, includes EDSIG’s participation. A taskforce on the Information Systems (IS2020) Model Curriculum was created following a report and recommendation of an Exploratory Taskforce. This panel seeks to introduce the work of this taskforce as well as engage the IS education community in this effort. The taskforce seeks to facilitate broad feedback during the IS2020 development process through surveys and open feedback requests. Panelists will introduce key components of this process and seek input and feedback. This session should be of interest to all attendees, especially faculty developing college-level curricula in Information Systems. The nature of EDSIG’s participation will be elaborated and opportunities to participate in future development will be shared.
