Cybersecurity education and training and its Reliance on STEAM

Cyber security is a highly technical field requiring skilled professionals to develop and protect our digital systems. But what constitutes a well-trained and educated cybersecurity professional? Obviously, they should have a strong IT background - experienced in cutting edge new technologies. They need to understand computer monitoring, processing, system security, data loss prevention, intrusion detection, and compliance requirements. They must have certifications to verify they not only understand the threats, but also the symptoms and how to identify and mitigate them. But in today´s environment and within the rapidly expanding, technically vulnerable society, some are concerned whether that is enough.
