ABSTRACT

This final chapter contrasts two broad approaches to the challenges of education policy for cyber security: human capital and workforce development. The former is seated in a marriage between the idea of individual self-improvement through education and its economic effects on the individual, community, corporation or country. This concept has a very broad scope. In contrast, workforce development is a preoccupation largely of corporation or country. As a concept, it is much more narrowly focused than the idea of human capital. The purpose of making this contrast is to help situate the debates about cyber security workforce development. Against that background, the chapter presents twelve dilemmas that seem common to all countries grappling with choices about cyber security education.
