Seeking Balance in Cyber Education

Abstract

The future cyber warriors of the U.S. and the Department of Defense are being groomed at our nation's universities right now. As they are imbued with the fundamentals of computer network attack and defense, the war rages on in cyberspace. Few questions are more critical to the future of DoD and the nation than how we can most effectively prepare these men and women for their mission. There are pitfalls in gravitating to extremes as we in academia chart their course. In the paragraphs that follow, we advocate for a balanced approach that maximizes educational value, in order to prepare those future cyber warriors for the battles that lay ahead of them.
