The number of skilled practitioners of information system security who are able to address the complexities of large, interdependent systems is very small. By moving to an educational system that cultivates an appropriate knowledge of security, we can increase the likelihood that our next generation of Information Technology workers will have the background needed to design and develop systems that are engineered to be reliable and secure. This paper describes current specific educational initiatives designed to facilitate information systems security education. We close with our own recommendations for facilitating information system security education based on similarities between the different initiatives.

Keywords: information security, security education, critical infrastructure protection
