In this article, the authors discuss a
cybersecurity capacity building framework and the roles that various nations and organization play in helping building cybersecurity capacity on a global basis.
Step 2: Research International Cooperation and Joint Efforts to Improve Global Cybersecurity
The resources listed below provide information about current international efforts to improve global cybersecurity through cooperation between nations through projects involving businesses, governments, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals. As you review these materials, focus on the benefits of cross-border cooperation for the purposes of combating cybercrime, cyberattacks, and cyberterrorism. Continue your research by identifying additional, international efforts to promote cybersecurity capacity building.

· Step 3: Discuss Cultural Issues as Potential Barriers to Success in Cyber Capacity Building
Participate in a discussion with your peers about cultural Issues as potential barriers to success in international cooperative efforts. Use examples from your reading and research for Steps 1 and 2 along with information from the following resources:

Step 4: Discuss Ethical Issues as Potential Barriers to Success in Cyber Capacity Building
Read:
Ethics and Ethical Decision Making
Participate in a discussion with your peers about ethical Issues as potential barriers to success in international cooperative efforts. Use examples from your reading and research for Steps 1, 2, and 3 along with information from additional sources from your personal research. Ground your discussion in one or more of the ethical theories or principles discussed in the learning topic
Ethics and Ethical Decision Making.
Step 5: Research the Use of Training and Certifications to Build Cybersecurity Capacity
In this step, you will continue your research and analysis of cyber capacity building by examining the role that training and certifications plays in the development and growth of a professional cybersecurity workforce for nations around the world. Begin by reading these scholarly articles:
Blažič, B. J. (2021). The cybersecurity labour shortage in Europe: Moving to a new concept for education and training.
Technology in Society,
67.
https://doi-org.ezproxy.umgc.edu/10.1016/j.techsoc.2021.101769
Furnell, S. (2021). The cybersecurity workforce and skills.
Computers & Security,
100.
https://doi-org.ezproxy.umgc.edu/10.1016/j.cose.2020.102080
International (multinational) organizations such as CompTIA, EC-Council, ISACA, and the Information Systems Security Consortium play a large role in the provision of training and in certifying the knowledge, skills, and abilities. Training and certifications are also provided by technology vendors such as CISCO and Microsoft. Consider the following types of certifications and assess their value to nations as potential solutions to the need for professionalization of the cyber workforce.
· Basic and Advanced Cybersecurity Knowledge and Skills
1. CISCO Certifications: CCNA-Security, CCNA Cyber Ops
2. CompTIA Certifications: Security+, Network+, CASP
3. EC-Council Certifications: CSCU, CEH, CHFI, CTIA, C|CISO
4. ISACA Certifications: CISA, CISM, CRISC
5. (ISC)2 Certifications: CAP, CISSP, CSLP, SSCP
· Related Knowledge and Skills
1. Business Skills Certifications: PMI-PBA, PMI-PMP
2. Risk Management Certifications
3. Disaster Recovery Certifications
4. Operating Systems Administration Certifications (MS Windows, Linux, etc.)
Note: Additional cybersecurity workforce certifications can be found in the US Department of Defense list of baseline certifications:

Step 6: Prepare an Annotated Bibliography
Choose the 10 best sources from your searches for articles, papers, and dissertations. Focus on sources that give details about your research topic. Next, write the reference list entry (APA citation style) for each source. Alphabetize your list of reference list entries. After you have the correctly ordered list, number your entries from 1 to 10. Note: different reference entry formats are used for different types of sources. Review the UMGC Library’s “Get Help > Citing and Writing for samples and explanations of the formatting rules. If you are using APA format, your list should look something like the following.
1. Authors. (date). Article title.
Publication name, vol(issue), #-#.
2. Authors. (date). Paper title. Published in the Proceedings of conference-name, pp. #-#.
3. Authors. (date).
Book title. City, state (or country) of publication: Publisher.
Next, write your annotations for each source in your list. In an
annotated bibliography
, the annotation is a paragraph or two placed under the reference list entry for each source. For this assignment, the annotation should be a combination of factual information from the source and your evaluation (opinion) of the quality and usefulness of the information; you will be combining the
descriptive and
analytical styles of annotations.
To accomplish this, you should read the abstract, introduction section, and closing sections for each article or paper. For dissertations, look over the Introduction and the Literature Review (usually the first two chapters). From this information, develop a short informative or descriptive summary of the source that includes: (a) a description the information provided in the source, (b) how you plan to use this source to support your analysis of your research topic, and (c) your thoughts and opinions about the utility or quality of the source. Each annotation should be approximately 100-125 words (five to seven sentences). Place this summary after the reference list entry for the source.

Submit your annotated bibliography for review and feedback from your instructor.

Instructions
As per the instructions, I will be honing in on how you provide
factual information from the source and
your evaluation (opinion) of the quality and usefulness of the information. As such, I am not just looking for a description of the source but how you intend to use it!
More specifically, I am looking for
three main parts, to include:
· the description the information provided in the source–what’s it about;
· how are you going to use it in your final paper; and
· your thoughts and opinions about how useful this source is to you in this paper.
