  2. CONTENTS • INTRODUCTION (ISM) • JOB ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY • RESULTS OF JOB ANALYSIS ON ISM (INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGER) • CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT FOR ISM • CONCLUSION

  3. 1. INTRODUCTION • In information and technology security, a risk is any hazard or danger to which a system or its components (e.g., hardware, software, information, or data) is subjected. • The job of an ISM (Information Security Manager) to ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability, which could be compromised when those risks actually surface. • DACUM (Developing A CUrriculuM) is a job analysis method used to create descriptions for new education /training programs.

  4. 2. JOB ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY 2.1 DACUM - a Job Analysis Method 2.2 DACUM Process for ISM

  5. 2.1 DACUM - a Job Analysis Method • What is DACUM? : DACUM (Developing A Curriculum) is a job analysis technique. The DACUM process is used to determine the competencies that should be addressed in a training curriculum for a specific occupation. • When: Dec. 1999 – Jan. 2000 • Where: KRIVET (Korea Research Institute of Vocational Education and Training) in Korea • Who: DACUM committee consisting of 5 employees (ISMs) and 5 professors • How: DACUM process (modified) • Why: A Curriculum Development for ISM

  6. Facilitator – Computer Science Education • Subject matter Experts: five; • Security R&D Manager–1 • Security product implementer – 1 • Security Managers –2 • Consultant (Security Integration) – 1 • Professors – 5: MIS –2; CS-2: CE – 1. (Korea Inst of Info Security & Cryptology)

  7. Steps Procedure Methods Results Step 1 Preparation for job analysis Data collection, interviews Collection of related information and data. Organizing of DACUM committee. Step 2 Job/task analysis DACUM List of tasks and works including the characteristics of works. Step 3 Work analysis DACUM Work description: need for education; work elements, skills, knowledge, and tools. Step 4 Education /training program development DACUM Key works/education contents matrix, Key works/courses matrix. Course profile and education/ training road map. Step 5 Validation Interviews Modification and documentation of results 2.2 DACUM Process for ISM Table 1. Procedure of job analysis

  19. 5. CONCLUSION • There are 4 tasks and 13 works in the job of ISM. • The 4 tasks of ISM are security policy (with two works), risk management (with five works), safeguard choice (two works), and safeguard maintenance management (four works). • There are 18 education contents and 7 education courses in the education/training program for ISM. • The primary methodological contribution has been the combination of DACUM and interviews including the final validation step in which the committee reviewed the feedback from industry and the academia. • DACUM being a cost-effective approach this technique can be applied even to other educational programs to fine-tune them using the validation step. But, the worker-oriented instruments for job analysis have several limitations.
