Cybersecurity Framework was proposed patterned after the Department on Information and Communication Technologies’ (DICT) National Cybersecurity Framework and the Cybersecurity Competency Model of the US Department of Labor, in lieu of lack of local cybersecurity descriptors. A norm-reference based on Cybersecurity Competency cores of 232 respondent PNP was proposed based on Stanine computations to standardize the Cybersecurity Competency Questionnaire. Pre-test and post-test scores of the Cybersecurity Knowledge Quiz from Pew Research Center was found significantly different through t-test (t computed = 5.41 > t critical = 1.989) after in a short infomercial video was shown to the respondent PNP as immediate intervention to improve their cybersecurity competency on cybersecurity technologies (e.g. familiarity with security or anti-virus and anti-malware software).

Triangulation was used to determine common findings between instruments and statistical analysis. Correlation computations found cybersecurity competency levels as significantly related to cybersecurity knowledge (r computed = 0.30-0.34 > r critical = 0.182). Thus justifying the use of short self-learning videos to improve cybersecurity competency by improving cybersecurity knowledge. A one-year in-service professional development program was proposed that is in line with the DICT’s thrust to reduce the time and cost of obtaining knowledge, skills, and abilities related to cybersecurity.
