Cybersecurity Culture & Human Behaviour - Introduction (CYRUS)
This course equips learners with understanding various human failures, following procedures, effective communication, understanding security culture and organisational factors. It is developed within the scope of the CYRUS project ("a personalised, customised, work-based training framework for enhanced CYbeRsecurity skills across indUstrial Sectors") and funded by the DIGITAL Europe Programme of the European Union. The project aims to build a blueprint for building tailored learning experiences in cybersecurity across industrial sectors - promoting not only skills development, but also up- and re-skilling.
Why this course?
Human behaviour plays a pivotal role in both preventing and mitigating cybersecurity breaches. This training adopts a human-centric approach to cybersecurity, recognising that individuals are often the weakest link in an organisation’s security chain. The course focuses on educating and empowering participants to make informed security decisions, transforming potential vulnerabilities into strengths. Designed specifically for professionals in the transport and manufacturing sectors, this training is ideal for individuals in non-technical roles with access to the technical infrastructure through severely constrained HMI who wish to enhance their understanding of cybersecurity through a human-centric lens.
