A CyBOK - compliant Cybersecurity Syllabus for Inclusion in the ICT Curricula of the Greek Vocational Schools

Cybersecurity constitutes an urgent need in today's digital environment. Nowadays, the Cybercrime landscape changes in a hectic and a rapid way. Cyberattacks pose a huge problem which asks for urgent and professional solutions. As a result, a great need in the world labor market for Cybersecurity specialists, professionals and practitioners has arisen. Vocational Education and Training (VET) graduates must be able to respond to the labor markets calls for specific cybersecurity skills and expertise. Despite this universally accepted situation, the Greek vocational schools do not offer such a specialty. In this paper, a CyBOK compliant Cybersecurity syllabus for inclusion in the ICT curricula of the Greek Vocational schools is proposed. This proposal aims to shorten the gap between the Greek labor market needs and the quantity of available practitioners - professionals. In addition to the syllabus, a roadmap on the next steps to integrate this proposal into the Greek VET is outlined.
