The paper proposes a novel index to classify how well UK Computer Science courses articulate cybersecurity related content through their course/module pages. The aim of this work is to raise awareness among British Universities to pay more attention to include and standardise cyber security content in computer science courses. Our results show that 80% of analysed courses scored 1 or 2-stars on a 5-Stars scale. The results also suggest the need of a formal delivery of cybersecurity content from the first year of the courses and possibly in a collaborative manner with the British Computer Society (BCS). To emphasize cybersecurity education in mitigating security lapses, the analogy is: it is better if most people know how to use a match than to train many fire-fighters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
