Attention CAE-CD POCs for two-year colleges,
As the designated CAE-CD point-of-contact (POC), you and your faculty colleagues are invited to participate in an initiative that aims to better understand the influence that CAE-CD programs and their associated activities have on the career trajectories and preparedness of their alumni.
This national study sponsored by NCyTE Center has the objective of exploring how experiences within CAE-CD programs and specific program-related activities have shaped the career choices of alumni and prepared them for their professional lives. This study seeks to gather insights into the effectiveness of curriculum design, extracurricular involvement, internships, mentorships, and other program-specific factors in equipping students for the challenges and opportunities of their cybersecurity and technology-related careers.
Your participation in this initiative is critical. We believe that your insights and encouragement will significantly motivate program alumni to contribute to this study. The findings of this research are expected to offer valuable feedback on the strengths and areas for improvement within CAE-CD programs, thereby enabling us to better serve our current and future students.
We kindly request your assistance in the following ways:
Promote Amongst Alumni: We would appreciate it if you could inform your program alumni about this study through your department’s newsletters, emails, and social media platforms. A template message and study details will be provided to facilitate this communication.
Encouragement to Participate: Personal messages from faculty members with whom alumni have had meaningful relationships can be incredibly persuasive. We encourage you to reach out directly to your former students, emphasizing the importance of their participation in shaping the future of our programs.
Feedback and Insights: We are eager to hear your thoughts on how to best engage alumni and any suggestions you may have to increase participation rates.

The study has the potential to significantly impact the continuous improvement of our CAE-CD programs and the success of our students. By understanding the level of impact between program experiences and career outcomes, we can tailor our efforts to provide an education that not only meets but exceeds the expectations and needs of our students and the cybersecurity workforce at large.
Please join us for an informational meeting on July 10, 2024, at 1:00pm Pacific Time via Zoom to learn more about how you can participate.

Dear Cybersecurity Subject Matter Expert (SME),
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Cybersecurity Management at the College of Computing and Engineering at Nova Southeastern University. Dr. Yair Levy chairs my dissertation. This work is part of the Levy CyLab Project (https://infosec.nova.edu/cylab/ [infosec.nova.edu]). My research study seeks to empirically evaluate the influence of Ferreira et al.’s (2015) five principles of persuasion on senior citizens’ susceptibility to phishing via simulated SMiShing attacks.
The main study’s simulated SMiShing attack messages will need to include an operationalized principle of persuasion per SMS message. During your evaluation of SMS messages, you will be asked to evaluate the following two general questions about each of the sample SMS messages:
To what extent do you think the SMS message is SMiShing?
Provide your opinion about the level of AGREEMENT with each of the principles of persuasion provided in the SMS message.
By providing your opinion about the particular operationalized principle of persuasion in each SMiShing message, you are helping to confirm the intended principle of persuasion was operationalized appropriately, or if not, indicate it.
By participating in this research study, you agree and understand that your responses are voluntary. All responses are anonymous, and no Personally Identifiable Information (PII) will be collected. You may stop participating at any time and for any reason.
I appreciate your assistance and contribution to this research study. If you wish to receive a copy of the study’s findings, please email me, and I will send you the academic research paper once it is accepted for publication.
If you want to participate in this study, please follow the provided link and evaluate the SMS messages. The evaluation of the SMS messages should take less than 30 minutes.
Sincerely,

Dear Information Security Subject Matter Expert (SME),
I am conducting a research study that focuses on comparing phishing mitigation methods, specifically three phishing training methods and two phishing campaign methods, for my dissertation work. I am a PhD candidate in Cybersecurity Management at the College of Computing and Engineering of Nova Southeastern University. My dissertation is chaired by Dr. Yair Levy and this work is part of the Levy CyLab. (http://CyLab.nova.edu/). My research study is seeking to compare the mitigation methods and their impact on malicious email in organizations. The experiment that I am seeking assistance with is aimed at comparing these phishing mitigation methods in a 2x3 quasi-experimental format measured on six specific end user negative response actions and vulnerability types. A secondary outcome of this experiment is to measure the samples based on several demographic factors.
By participating in this research study, you agree and understand that your responses are voluntary. All responses are anonymous and no personally identifiable information will be collected or traced back to anyone. Of course, you may stop your participation at any time. If you agree to participate, please use the link below to access the online survey. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I appreciate your assistance and contribution to this research study. If you wish to receive the findings of the study, feel free to contact me via email and I will be more than happy to provide you with the information about the academic research publication resulting from this study.
