Abstract

With the recent phenomenon of the Intelligence Information Society, the cyber security paradigm has begun to change. In particular, the increase of the interconnectedness of the hyperlinked society has extended the scope of damage that can be caused by cyber threats to the real world. In addition to that, it can also be a risk to any given individual who could accompany a crisis that has to do with public safety or national security. Adolescents who are digital natives are more likely to be exposed to cyber threats, which is mainly due to the fact that they are significantly more involved in cyber activities and they also possess insufficient security comprehension and safety awareness. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen cyber security capabilities of every young individual, so that they can effectively protect themselves against cyber threats and better manage their cyber activities. It examines the changes of the security paradigm and the necessity for cyber security education, which is in direct accordance to the characteristics of a connected society that further suggests directions and a basic system of cyber security education, through a detailed analysis of the current state of Domestic and Overseas Cyber Security Education. The purpose of this study was to define cybersecurity competencies that are necessary within an intelligent information society, and to propose a regular curriculum for strengthening cybersecurity competencies, through the comparison and meticulous analysis of both domestic and overseas educational systems that are pertinent to cybersecurity competencies. Accordingly, a cybersecurity competency system was constructed, by reflecting C3-Matrix, which is a cyber competency system model of digital citizens. The cybersecurity competency system consists of cyber ethics awareness, cyber ethics behavior, cyber security and cyber safety. In addition to this, based on the basic framework of the cybersecurity competency system, the relevant education that is currently being implemented in the United States, Australia, Japan and Korea were all compared and analyzed. From the insight gained through the analysis, the domestic curriculum was finally presented. The main objective of this new unified understanding, was to create a comprehensive and effective cyber security competency curriculum.

최근 지능정보사회로의 진입으로 인해, 사이버보안 패러다임이 변화하기 시작하였다. 특히 지능정보사회의 상호연결성 등의 증가는 사이버위협으로 인한 피해 범위를 실제 세계까지 확대하였으며, 개개인에 대한 위험이 곧 공공 안전·국가 안보 등의 위기로 연결되고 있다. 특히 디지털 네이티브(Digital Native)세대인 청소년의 경우는 사이버 활동이 많고 보안 및 안전의식이 충분치 않아 사이버위협에 그대로 노출 될 가능성이 더욱 크다. 이에 사이버위협으로부터 개인 스스로를 지키고 사이버활동을 관리할 수 있는 사이버보안 역량 강화가 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 사이버보안 역량을 강화할 수 있는 사이버보안 정규교육화에 대해 검토하고 대응방안을 제시하고자 한다. 초연결사회 특성에 따른 보안 패러다임 변화와 사이버보안 교육의 필요성에 대해 검토하고 국내외 사이버보안 교육 추진 현황에 대한 분석을 통해 사이버보안 교육 방향 및 기본 체계를 제시하고자 한다. 이에 본 연구는 지능정보사회에서 요구되는 사이버보안역량을 정의하고 사이버보안역량 함양에 관한 주요국 교육체계를 비교·분석하여 사이버보안역량 강화를 위한 정규교육과정을 제안하고자 하였다. 이에 디지털시민으로서의 사이버역량 체계 모델인 C3-Matrix를 반영하여 사이버보안역량 체계를 사이버인식(cyber ethics awareness), 사이버행동(cyber ethics behavior), 사이버보안(cyber security), 사이버안전(cyber safety)로 구성하였다. 그리고 사이버보안역량 체계 기본구성틀에 기반하여 미국, 호주, 일본, 한국에서 수행되는 관련 교육을 비교분석하고 한국 교육과정에 도입되어야 하는 사이버보안역량 교과체계를 제시하였다.
