Abstract
This chapter promotes an interdisciplinary approach to cybersecurity education, integrating Cyber Security Body of Knowledge (CyBOK) concepts across subjects from early education onwards. It illustrates how language, literature, mathematics, science, and arts can embed cybersecurity principles, using examples such as Sherlock Holmes for social engineering and substitution ciphers for teaching encryption. Emphasising hands-on and gamified activities, it highlights engaging diverse learning modalities to make cybersecurity accessible. Concluding with an appeal to educators to adopt collaborative teaching and professional development, the chapter aims to cultivate informed digital citizens capable of navigating and protecting an increasingly complex digital world.
