While some IT programs in the US offer only one security course in their undergraduate programs, others offer up to four courses. The first objective of this paper is to review the offering of security courses in undergraduate programs and then examine their content to investigate the possibility of integrating the CompTIA Security+ exam objectives. The second objective of this paper is to review industrial certificates that are currently available in security and examine their possible integration in an IT curriculum. The last objective of this study is to compare the objectives of the Security+ exam with the two Cisco Networking Academy security courses. The Security+ certification exam objectives cover most of the basics of security and they can be integrated into the first security course of most IT programs. Finally, a master course syllabus that covers the Security+ exam objectives is developed to map each course objective with its corresponding certification objective. It is anticipated that colleges and universities will benefit from this study by using the proposed course syllabus as a framework for integrating the Security+ certification exam objectives into their curriculum.  \nIntroduction  \nCertification establishes a standard of competency in specific areas of the IT field which helps industry determine whether prospective employees meet the required credentials for different job roles. Therefore employees holding the required IT certificates may require less training or even no training during the initial employment period. Hence, some job criteria require individuals tobe certified in order to be considered for employment. To the certified individual, certification provides a greater sense of confidence in their abilities and a measure of professional expertise and understanding of the job and products used in that role. It is for these reasons that certification is becoming increasingly popular and in high demand. Some IT certificates are specific to a narrow field or even individual products. The aim is to provide targeted skills that have immediate applicability in the workplace 1,2 .  \nThe IEEE and ACM recognize the importance of certification and provide its members with over six hundred online courses leading to professional certifications, such as CompTIA Network+ and Cisco CCNA. Moreover, ACM has developed a K-12 computer science curriculum3 that recommends three IT certifications; the A+ Certified Technician, the i-Net+, and the Certif","cbCail0xIejk5sd3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail0xIejk5sd3","pdf",123434,11,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Certification and competency in IT\n## Growing pressure to include certification in curricula\n## IT 2005 Model Curriculum\n## Security content and course-hours overview","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The paper aims to investigate how CompTIA Security+ exam objectives can be integrated into information technology curricula and to assess related certification and course content options.\"},{\"question\":\"Which objectives and course materials does the study compare?\",\"answer\":\"It compares Security+ exam objectives with two Cisco Networking Academy security courses and also reviews industrial security certificates for potential curriculum integration.\"},{\"question\":\"How is integration supported in the paper’s proposed approach?\",\"answer\":\"The study develops a master course syllabus that maps each course objective to its corresponding certification objective, intended as a framework for implementation in colleges and universities.\"}]","Integrating the Security+ Exam Objectives into Information Technology Curricula - Abstract and Introduction | PDF",1789882585,28]
