A Pilot Study in Cyber Security Education Using CyberAIMs: A Simulation-Based Experiment

Abstract: We hardly pass any day without hearing of a new cyber attack. The recent ever-increasing occurrence of such attacks has given to researchers, practitioners and others an opportunity to raise awareness and train staff from the public and private institutions, as well as other people within the society, about the evolving nature of cyberspace threats. As a first step in this process, we aim to present main findings from a pilot study conducted with a target group of Master students with diverse backgrounds and k… Show more

“…We have conducted four experiments using CyberAIMs to measure, from different perspectives, the impact that using the tool would have on the students' understanding of concepts related to adversarial and systems thinking, along with measuring the tool's level of usability and coverage from the cybersecurity professionals' perspective [14]. In this section, we will explain the results obtained from two of the experiments conducted, and we will continue by discussing our main findings in the next section.…”

“…Several authors focus on cognitive levels of learning process in articles covering simulation-type exercises, as simulations allow experimentation. Some examples include a simulation-based approach to understanding cybersecurity threats when attempting multiple actions, the user is provided with an "awareness" measure [70]; a socio-technical systems approach to support the emerging role of systems thinking and using an agent-based simulation tool to change the students' thinking [71] [72]; a computational model based on Instance-Based Learning Theory that proposes a way to analyse the cyber analyst's awareness at both threat level and attack scenario level [43]. Such human dynamic decision making analysis can help to determine various player models at individual and aggregated levels [73].…”

“…Teaching basic game theory has been used by Hamman et al 6 to improve adversarial thinking in Cybersecurity students. 7 Thompson et al 8 proposed a new RFID reference model for teaching RFID systems under the RFID INFOSEC project. The RFID INFOSEC project focuses on RFID-related security and privacy threats, risks and mitigation technologies.…”
