Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms
Security Perspectives Inc
$81,000.00
Cybersecurity Awareness Game Platform
FY 2018-19 · 2019-01-21
Summary
Chief Information Officers and Chief Security Officers recognize that cyber attacks on their enterprise are a very real and very expensive problem. Employees are highly susceptible to attacks such as phishing and social engineering, and CIOs need ways to make them aware of these potential risks.
Current approaches to improving employee awareness (e.g eLearning, classroom education) are not effective or scalable. This project will build a gamified cyber awareness learning platform which increases employee engagement and awareness retention. The solution is SaaS-based and is highly configurable, customizable, and scalable. Improved employee engagement makes enterprises more secure, and mitigates risk from employee-targeted cyber attacks.

Description
Chief Information Officers and Chief Security Officers recognize that cyber attacks on their enterprise are a very real and very expensive problem. Employees are highly susceptible to attacks such as phishing and social engineering, and CIOs need ways to make them aware of these potential risks.
Current approaches to improving employee awareness (e.g eLearning, classroom education) are not effective or scalable. This project will build a gamified cyber awareness learning platform which increases employee engagement and awareness retention. The solution is SaaS-based and is highly configurable, customizable, and scalable. Improved employee engagement makes enterprises more secure, and mitigates risk from employee-targeted cyber attacks.
Description (French)
Les dirigeants principaux de l'information et les dirigeants principaux de la sécurité reconnaissent que les cyberattaques contre leur entreprise sont un problème très réel et très coûteux. Les employés sont très vulnérables aux attaques telles que l'hameçonnage et l'ingénierie sociale, et les dirigeants principaux de l'information ont besoin de moyens pour les sensibiliser à ces risques potentiels. Les approches actuelles visant à améliorer la sensibilisation des employés (p. ex. apprentissage en ligne, éducation en classe) ne sont ni efficaces ni évolutives. Ce projet permettra de créer une plate-forme de cybersensibilisation et d'apprentissage, qui augmentera l'engagement des employés et la rétention de la sensibilisation. La solution est basée sur SaaS et est hautement configurable, personnalisable et évolutive. L'amélioration de l'engagement des employés rend les entreprises plus sécuritaires et atténue les risques liés aux cyberattaques ciblées auxquelles les employés sont exposés.
