Cybersecurity + IT Educational Resources
Your department or school doesn’t have to start from scratch. We have the tools and resources to build the right cybersecurity curriculum for your students, encourage hands-on learning, and empower instructors to deliver the best classroom experience.
Designed for in-person, online, or hybrid classrooms, Jones & Bartlett Learning’s turn-key cybersecurity curriculum solution combines print and digital textbooks with virtual machine lab exercises and comprehensive instructor resources to create an unmatched educational experience for instructors and students alike.
Colleges and companies are rapidly launching and scaling cybersecurity and information technology course offerings to meet the growing demand for qualified professionals. And yet, not every program is adequately preparing students to protect the valuable assets of organizations and individuals. Cybersecurity students need real-world experience and quality, current content to stay engaged in the classroom, drive learning outcomes, and hit the ground running after graduation.
The Information Systems Security & Assurance (ISSA) Series provides the Information Security and Technology professionals of tomorrow with practical and engaging academic content from today's industry experts. While we firmly believe the next generation of cybersecurity and IT education is hands-on and experiential, we also recognize that books are still essential learning resources in classrooms worldwide. The principal objective of our textbooks is to provide authoritative and durable content that serves as a strong knowledge foundation for students taking the first steps toward their future careers.
Our Cloud Labs provide fully immersive mock IT infrastructures with live virtual machines and real software, where students will learn and practice the foundational information security skills they need to excel in their future careers. Unlike simulations, these hands-on virtual labs reproduce the complex challenges of the real world without putting an institution's assets at risk. Available as a standalone lab solution or bundled with our textbooks, Cloud Labs are an essential tool for mastering key course concepts through hands-on training.
