Publication: Introduction to CYRUS

A personalised, customised, work-based training framework for enhanced cybersecurity skills across industrial sectors

Summary of the paper

In our rapidly evolving digital world, robust cybersecurity is needed more than ever. CYRUS, which stands for “A personalised, customised, work-based training framework for enhanced CYbeRsecurity skills across industrial Sectors”, is a European project which aims to propose a novel cybersecurity training program to increase awareness and enable employees in the Transport and Manufacturing (TM) industries to effectively respond to and mitigate cyber threats and attacks. TM are increasingly under attack while, at the same time, dedication to training is low. CYRUS follows a three-step approach: (i) analysis of cybersecurity skills, competencies, training needs and skill gaps; (ii) design and development of short-term training courses; (iii) iterative validation of the training courses.
