Cybersecurity training - The customisable approach

The problem with traditional learning is it doesn’t prepare trainees for the job they’ll be doing and it is usually based on a “one-size-fits-all” approach. This traditional approach while better than nothing isn’t ideal, because it doesn’t adequately replicate what the trainee will be dealing with in its day-to-day work. For most organisations indeed, investing in cybersecurity training not only depends on internal factors, but also on the ‘fit’ between training demands and the training offer.

Cybersecurity training - What do organisations need?

Human error has become a major weak point in cyber security today; one that is easily exploited by cyber criminals. In fact, according to a cybersecurity report by London-based consultancy Willis Towers Watson “approximately 90% of all cyber claims are the result of some type of human error or behaviour “. On top of this we are also experiencing a large scale skills gap in the professional field;

The CYBERWISER.eu key benefits are already emerging from its Full Scale Pilots. For example, the University of Pisa is using the platform to train its bachelor, master's and post-master students. They are showcasing the value of filling the skills gap by combining theoretical knowledge with real-world, hands-on training and more complex scenarios. Read our first interview here.

Watch the full recording of the webinar “Free Cybersecurity Training with customised learning paths”, here you can catch all the insights shared during the webinar. In the recording, you will have the opportunity to get an overview of the Open Pilot Scheme and see in detail its steps. Finally, you can see the demo of CYBERWISER.eu platform.

Cybersecurity Training in Europe - Have your say

As an IT security specialist or digital business leader, we would like to hear your opinion on the state of the art of cybersecurity training in Europe to help us identify gaps and possible solutions. Your contribution and feedback will help us analyse the European cybersecurity training landscape, with a view to providing recommendations on increasing capacity building efforts and better protecting public and private organisations from cyber-attacks. 
These recommendations may result in supporting efforts to develop new EC Communications, new directives and even assist in providing input to implementing regulations in cybersecurity and data protection.

Cybersecurity - What is the right training approach for my organisation?

There are numerous players delivering training in cybersecurity around the world. Mostly driven by the non-specific academic approach. However, we are beginning to see the development of a more targeted approach to training, this comes on the back of recommendations from European cyber agencies.

The approach advocated by CYBERWISER.eu mixes theoretical with practical and is fully customisable to maximise return of investment in training for organisations of all size. You can try out one of our freely available “Open Pilots”, here.

As hackers get bolder so does cyber security training

Organisations are becoming more desirable targets for hacking, due to the global shortage of cyber security skills we are currently facing. Hackers are further advancing their motives and tactics, using new technologies and innovation.

However, the same is also true for cybersecurity training with a European report stating that there is an increase in innovative training activities that are customisable and practical.

CYBERWISER.eu implements customisable training programs in cybersecurity to fit any range of needs and learning targets, using innovative features, including a cutting-edge cyber range. You can try it for free, just click below if you want to know more.

Building the Cybersecurity Workforce of tomorrow

The agenda of the full-day Open Pilots Workshop held at Pisa's elegant Domus Comeliana on 5 November included presentations from consortium partners and also from representaitives of the four recently established European Cybersecurity Competence Centers. 

All expert speakers made themselves available to delegates for one-on-one consultations during a dedicated question and answers and networking session.

Simulations and excercises were prepared for them in order to test our cyber range solution.

Meet our Open Pilot Users:

Representing a cross-section of industrial, academic, and technology realities across Europe and the UK, the organisations enrolled in the first tranche of open pilots may each nominate up to 200 employees to receive between three and six months of customised cybersecurity training on the CYBERWISER.eu cyber range platform.

During the workshop, each Open Pilot user joined the panels with a one-minute pitch presentation introducting their organisation and their expectations towards the open pilot process.
