Abstract

This study presents progress in revising curriculum of the Cyber Security course by integrating international security certifications from Cisco, ECCouncil and ISACA in a vocational education. The main objective of establishing a new Cyber Security curriculum is to improve the quality of learning materials and updating its contents in order to enhance student competitive advantages at international levels. Considering the issue involves multi criteria perspectives, the study proposes the application of Ternary Analytic Hierarchy Process (Ternary AHP) technique as a novel approach in dealing with the problem. Final result suggests selecting 14 topics from Cisco, ECCouncil and ISACA for the formation of the new curriculum of Cyber Security course.
