Free e-Books for Cybersecurity Instructors

National CyberWatch Center can help educators get students further in the field of cybersecurity through the use of their newly released e-Books at no cost.

As the demand for qualified employees in cybersecurity jobs grows-there are an estimated one million job openings at the global level and expected to rise to 6 million by 2019- National CyberWatch Center works to update and create model Information Security curricula that supports the growth of cybersecurity education, including complete courses for degrees and certificates as well as e-Books.

National CyberWatch Center offers five technical courses most common in every degree and certificate. The e-Books for those courses include, "Introduction to Scripting," "Ethical Hacking and Systems Defense," "Networking Fundamentals," "Information Security Fundamentals," and "Linux Fundamentals." Each e-Book includes lecture slides, assessment questions, project answers, a syllabus, and instructor's guide. They can be used in conjunction with several NCC technical courses.

The content for four of these five e-Books map to professional certifications. These e-Books are written by both National CyberWatch Center and 
Jones Bartlett Learning.
