Information Systems (IS) and Information Security & Assurance (ISA) Curriculum Development and Design: A DACUM Approach.

Issues associated with information security are numerous and diverse. Since the majority of organizational actions rely greatly on information and communication technologies, Information Systems (IS) security and Information Security & Assurance (ISA) is now a main concern for firms, governments, institutes, and society as a whole. As a result, a plethora of graduate programs have been created, covering nearly every aspect of IS security. The purpose of this project is to document the findings for using a particularly inventive and extremely efficient technique of job skill analysis known as a DACUM, which stands for “developing a curriculum.” A DACUM begins with an identification of an industry pool that is further reduced to an expert panel, culminating in a daylong workshop to identify new job skill statements and skill needs.
