The aim of this paper is to show the need for a comprehensive approach to studying cybersecurity in order to get a focus on both, technological factors and the human aspect in development a user level of IoT Reference Architecture. The author presents a methodology for researching the capacity of users to manage their digital identity and operate in a safe and secure cyber-physical environment. For this purpose, an approach is proposed, that is based on a defined survey research targeting personnel and individual users operating in cyber-physical environment. Based on the analysed survey results and formed observations, the paper suggests solutions for improving the competences of users in cyberspace and increase their cyber awareness. As a practical implementation of the proposed methodology, the author presents a developed Cyber Awareness platform. Its main purpose is to provide information and resources on cybersecurity and IoT security, and to be the main point of knowledge access. The portal also provides opportunities to test users’ cyber knowledge, participate in public survey related to cyber topics, share and exchange information, opinions and useful practices on cyber incidents and cyber knowledge.

To avoid costly security patching after software deployment, security-by-design techniques (e.g. threat analysis) are adopted in organizations to find and mitigate security issues before the system is ever implemented. Organizations are ramping up such (heavily manual) activities, but there is a global gap in the security workforce. Favorable performance indicators would result in cost savings for organizations with scarce security experts. However, past empirical studies were inconclusive regarding some performance indicators of threat analysis techniques, thus practitioners have little evidence for choosing the technique to adopt. To address this issue, we replicated a controlled experiment with STRIDE. Our study aimed to measure and compare the performance indicators (productivity and precision) of two STRIDE variants (per-element and per-interaction). Since we made some similar observations to the original study, we conclude that the two approaches are not different enough to make a practical impact. To this end, the choice of which variant to adopt should be informed by the needs of the organization performing threat analysis. We conclude by discussing some of the unexplored yet relevant topic domains in the context of STRIDE that will be considered in future work.
