1.4.2 Global Stakeholder Survey 
In September 2016, after a year of community engagement and developmental work, the 
JTF launched a global stakeholder survey to solicit feedback on the proposed curricular 
thought model. Stakeholders were invited to participate in the survey through direct 
invitations, announcements in public educational and scientific forums, social media 
outreach via the JTF website and LinkedIn, and invitations sent through the distribution 
lists of participating professional associations. The survey yielded 231 responses from

 The ISEW was co-located with the Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education (CISSE), and 
sponsored by the Intel Corporation, the National Science Foundation (NSF), and the Institute for 
Information and Infrastructure Protection (I3P) at the George Washington University (GW).

stakeholders located in 20 countries; working across academia, industry and government; 
and representing all five computing disciplines. 
In summary, survey respondents suggested that the JTF clarify the intended audience of 
the curricular volume; refine the definitions and distinguish between the curricular 
elements of the thought model; provide additional information on the content of each of 
the knowledge categories; simplify the thought model; and adapt the structure to allow 
for placement of emerging topics. The JTF used these comments to revise the thought 
model. The full survey report is available on the CSEC2017 website.
