Curriculum Mapping

Several government agencies have made overlapping efforts to develop a standard on the skills that cybersecurity students need to learn to become successful in their careers. Jones & Bartlett Learning has tackled the challenge that training and education providers face in mapping their courses to multiple sets of curriculum guidelines, including:

  • National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense (CAE-CDE) Knowledge Units
  • National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework
  • Cybersecurity Education Curriculum 2017 (CSEC 2017)
  • Cybersecurity Education Curriculum 2020 (CSEC 2020)

We also offer mappings between the following textbooks and professional cybersecurity certifications:

  • Fundamentals of Information Systems Security and CompTIA Security+
  • Fundamentals of Communications and Networking and CompTIA Network+
  • Cloud Computing and CompTIA Cloud Essentials+
  • Hacker Techniques, Tools, and Incident Handling and Certified Ethical Hacker
