With the progress of digitalization, the importance of cybersecurity is increasing, and various reports on the human scale of cybersecurity personnel have been made in Japan. These reports do not clarify how much to estimate the cost and duration of training related to the development of cybersecurity personnel. This may be one of the reasons why companies and local governments are hesitating to train cybersecurity personnel.
In this paper, I try to calculate the training cost and period related to the development of cybersecurity personnel. In the calculation, not only the cost and period of the training course are estimated, but also the in-house cost, training interval, and continuous maintenance cost incurred because the personnel participating in the training are not engaged in their original duties. At the same time, I try to calculate the training cost and period according to the size of the company.
Specifically, in using the "training cost / period calculation model according to the training procedure", I estimated the training cost / period considering the in-house cost and training interval.
And in using the "human resources composition model according to the company size", I set a model according to the scale and calculated the training cost and period related to human resource development for each company scale. In addition, I compared the estimation results with external education and training costs related to human resource development in the IT field for each company size which was reported in the "2017 Information Processing Survey" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
This paper was able to present a proposal for the concept and method of calculating training costs and periods related to the development of cybersecurity personnel, which was not presented in various reports so far.
