CYBoK Web Tool

Developing a A Cyber Security Body of Knowledge Web Tool

Dr Harjinder Lallie

Project description

The CYBoK (Cyber Security Body of Knowledge) is the defacto standard for defining the critical body of knowledge important to the cyber security domain. The CYBoK is used as a defining framework against which applications to the NCSC (National Cyber Security Centre) degree certification scheme must demonstrate compliance. The CYBoK is extensive and rigorous, and on first inspection, can feel overwhelming.

This project delivers a web tool that brings together online open-source data to supplement the CYBoK. The web tool can be used by academic institutions around the country to gain further knowledge of each CYBoK subject and assess compliance with their syllabi with CYBoK

Working with our leading cybersecurity team, the findings from this internship will help to underpin teaching practice within the WMG cybersecurity programmes, helping to support the fast-paced nature of research-led teaching practice in cybersecurity.

Duties and responsibilities

  • You will develop a professional interactive website.
  • Taking sample CYBoK subjects, you will populate the website with the CYBoK narrative content -- verbatim as defined within the CYBoK documentation. You will then identify and evaluate good quality online resources and gather these in the form of an interactive website.
  • The candidate will also identify areas that are poorly covered.
  • The resulting website will present the sample CYBoK subjects, include all defined content, and integrate links to content such as supportive videos, research papers, instructional material. All materials will be cited within each subject page.

Required skills

  • The successful candidate will possess excellent organisational and communicational skills.
  • You will have a good eye for detail and an ability to work independently.
  • You will have good web development skills.

Acquired skills

  • You will develop a thorough knowledge of the CYBoK.
  • You will further develop your web development skills.
  • You will develop strong research skills
  • You will develop an awareness of research-led teaching in a fast-paced industrial environment
