We’re pleased to share that Version 2 of ‘Mappings of University and Professional Training Programmes to CyBOK’ is now available

This booklet includes mappings of a number of education and training programmes: postgraduate and undergraduate degrees at higher education institutions certified by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), and professional certification programmes.

The spider charts and bar charts indicate the breadth and depth of coverage of various CyBOK Knowledge Areas (KAs) in CyBOK v1.0.0 (with the addition of a 20th KA on Formal Methods for Security) or CyBOK v1.1.0.

The purpose of the booklet is to show how different programmes contrast. The mappings enable:

  • Employers to identify if the students from a programme or certification will be well-placed to meet the knowledge requirements of a particular role;and
  • Learners to identify which programme or certification may best suit their learning and career needs.

As new mappings are created, these will be added to the booklet and a new version will be released with an explanation of the changes.
