The Cyber Security Body of Knowledge
CyBOK is a comprehensive Body of Knowledge to inform and underpin education and professional training for the cyber security sector. The CyBOK project aims to bring cyber security into line with the more established sciences by distilling knowledge from major internationally-recognised experts to form a Cyber Security Body of Knowledge that will provide much-needed foundations for this emerging topic.

CyBOK. For the community, by the community
Since 2017, more than 115 experts from across the world have committed energy into establishing this open and freely accessible resource. The Body of Knowledge codifies the foundational knowledge in cyber security for education and professional training. It is funded by the National Cyber Security Programme and supported by the UK Cyber Security Council.
CyBOK version 1.0 and associated resources were launched in October 2019 with 19 Knowledge Areas (KAs) following broad community engagement. In response to further feedback and input, the current version, CyBOK v1.1, was released in July 2021, expanding the framework with two new KAs: Applied Cryptography and Formal Methods for Security. CyBOK v1.1 remains the latest version available.
