Abstract

Changes due to technological development in the workplace are putting pressure on academia to keep pace with the changing nature of work. Due to the growing need for cybersecurity professionals, universities improve their cybersecurity programs to develop qualified cybersecurity competencies. The purpose of this study is to validate the cybersecurity knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) competencies of cybersecurity degree programs using a fuzzy linguistic group decision-making method. This study shows that cybersecurity knowledge is essential, along with technical skills and human abilities for cybersecurity professionals.
