IT Security Essential Body of Knowledge (EBK): A Competency and Functional Framework

Overview
The IT Security Essential Body of Knowledge (EBK): A Competency and Functional Framework for IT Security Workforce Development conceptualizes IT security skill requirements in a new way to address evolving IT security challenges. It characterizes the IT security workforce and provides a national baseline representing the essential knowledge and skills that IT security practitioners should have to perform specific roles and responsibilities. As a single foundation linking competencies to security roles, the IT Security EBK will help ensure that we have the most qualified and appropriately trained IT security workforce possible.
