Project Summary

The project MISSILE is focused on extremely hot topic, developing key competencies, related to awareness about the information security vulnerabilities, threats and countermeasures. The main goal of the project is to develop a methodology for raising awareness of the information security vulnerabilities, threats and security solutions through learning and training and therefore increase overall security level of users and organizations. It can be achieved by the following objectives:
– to define user needs and requirements in the field of the information security training;
– to develop a concept for information security training, covering the major issues regarding the contemporary information security issues;
– to develop platform, which represents an actual implementation and actualizes the created methodology in a feasible and reliable way;
– to create learning materials, related to information security issues, social engineering, users’ beliefs and understandings about sensitive data and information security, as well as selecting and applying properly defined security policies, mechanisms and countermeasures;
– to conduct effective valorisation of the created concept and its realization by conducting of piloting with a selected target group of users.
By basing our solution into iterative working platform and user trials, we will push our system into piloting for testing and evaluating the created methodology. Apart from the innovative methodology for information security training and learning, we also foresee the formulation and exploitation of security and awareness training methods’ synergies as a major outcome of the MISSILE project. This view is supported by our approach to allow dynamic definition of training and learning and by enabling novel methodology ahead of the state of the art.
The MISSILE information security and awareness training / learning strategy is properly designed to have a multi-purposed impact, by (directly or indirectly) affecting the:
– creating new ideas and practical results in science;
– development of a methodology for training / learning in the field of information security;
– reaching a wide public of specialists and non-specialists and new audiences at both European and local levels;
– ensuring visibility across Europe, covering different countries and languages;
– ensuring further dissemination and strong follow-up.
