The CYRUS project is an initiative lasting for more than three years, and aims to create more effective and engaging cybersecurity courses than traditional classroom courses. It aims to use new technologies such as digitalization, virtualization, and e-learning to create training courses that are customized to the specific needs and skills of each user.
The target group of the proposed training sessions is, above all, employees at all levels of the organization, mainly from small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the transport sector. These are both new entrants, professionals, and managers who want to improve their specialist competencies. Cybersecurity training paths will be tailored to each role and institution. They will also be personalized according to the skills, knowledge, and attitudes of the recipients. The training is also available to students and individuals seeking employment.
Participants of the training will be provided with a complete set of skills and resources necessary to remain vigilant to identify and respond to cyberattacks. The project will focus on developing 18 cybersecurity courses that will cover technical skills, methodological and organizational aspects, and practical exercises for the different industrial sectors, taking into account the needs of SMEs. The courses will include virtualization, dedicated cyber-range simulations in operational settings, and work-based learning. It will allow us to deliver the training on time and in an efficient way. The aim is to help organizations create an “innovation DNA” on cybersecurity by giving their employees the skills and knowledge that they need to identify, mitigate and respond to cyber threats.
The courses will include practical exercises, presentations, games and role-plays, case studies, and on-the-job simulations in a cyber-range environment. Thanks to this, the users will learn alongside their colleagues.
In the CYRUS project, the Polish Platform for Homeland Security (PPHS) is responsible for preparing and delivering cybersecurity training courses, both in Polish and English. In addition, PPHS is in charge of developing a comprehensive plan for the delivery of short-term training courses across EU countries, as well as designing the methodology and tools for training evaluation. The organisation is also involved in the research process focused on assessing the impact of CYRUS training on participants in terms of knowledge and skills development.
