Abstract
The rise of digital platforms and smart technologies has increased concerns regarding cybersecurity and privacy for both individuals and organizations alike. It is no longer sufficient for cybersecurity to be relegated solely to professionals; instead, it is the responsibility of all individuals to take a proactive approach against cyber threats. This includes a cross-disciplinary effort in increasing cybersecurity education available to individuals of all ages and background. In this chapter, we argue for a curriculum-based approach to cybersecurity education that not only introduces basic cybersecurity concepts but also integrates it into both technical and non-technical disciplines across four different user types: K-12 students, technical professionals, college students, and all other citizens. This curriculum roadmap aims to increase cybersecurity awareness, promote mindful cybersecurity practices, and expose individuals to a range of cybersecurity solutions for related challenges.
