Cyber Teaching Hospitals: Developing Cyber Workforce Competence

James Elste, David Croasdell

2023

Abstract

The cybersecurity profession suffers from a crisis commonly referred to as the “Cyber Skills Gap.” The crisis highlights the dramatic shortage of cybersecurity awareness and skills in the modern workforce. This manuscript presents an alternative approach to the current cybersecurity educational paradigm. We propose a novel solution that would establish a system of cyber teaching hospitals. We provide an overview of the history and development of medical teaching hospitals and extrapolate the model to the cyber security domain. Incorporating the Conscious Competence model into the development of practical skills in a Cyber Teaching Hospital provides a structure for experiential learning and the acquisition of cybersecurity skills.
