We explore building a Kubernetes-powered, cloud-based cybersecurity education platform and framework named 'EDURange Cloud'. It allows instructors to efficiently design and host their own cybersecurity competitions and exercises. The benefits of this ...

Within the field of computer science, cybersecurity is essential for safeguarding individuals and organizations online. For students to develop an interest and be equipped with critical cybersecurity skills, learning experiences must be engaging. Despite ...

Problem. Extant measures of students' cybersecurity self-efficacy lack sufficient evidence of validity based on internal structure. Such evidence of validity is needed to enhance confidence in conclusions drawn from use of self-efficacy measures in the ...

Educators face the continuous challenge of updating their teaching materials with the fast-paced changes in cybersecurity and integrating emerging topics into their existing content. This work presents the development progress of a cybersecurity ...

Existing research has primarily delved into the realm of computer science outreach aimed at K-12 students, with a focus on both informal and non-formal approaches. However, a noticeable research gap exists when it comes to cybersecurity outreach tailored ...

We report on our experiences fielding MeetingMayhem, an interactive game that we developed, which introduces students to fundamental concepts in network security, cybersecurity, and adversarial thinking. The game is intended for students who do not ...

The importance of cybersecurity education within a computer science program is greater than ever in today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape. In order to protect sensitive information and digital infrastructure from various threats, ...

Cybersecurity education has grown exponentially to support the need for a skilled cybersecurity workforce. Further, capture-the-flag competitions have popularized cybersecurity by engaging and recruiting students while exposing them to cybersecurity ...

We address the pressing need for effective and scalable cybersecurity education methodologies for undergraduate students. While Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges have been instrumental for some learners, for many novices CTF challenges are simply too ...

Developing expertise in vulnerability research is critical to closing the cybersecurity workforce shortage. However, very few institutions have adopted vulnerability research into their cybersecurity curriculum, and fewer have examined how to teach this ...

This paper introduces DOJO, a state-of-the-art, open-source learning platform for hands-on cybersecurity education that aims to minimize barriers for both students and instructors. DOJO draws insight and inspiration from the Capture The Flag (CTF) ...

Although many Computer Science (CS) programs offer cybersecurity courses, they are typically optional and placed at the periphery of the program. We advocate to integrate cybersecurity as a crosscutting concept in CS curricula, which is also consistent ...

In the last decade, gamification has emerged as a valid alternative to more traditional learning processes both in academia and for professional training. Gamification has been successfully implemented in various disciplines to enhance the enjoyment ...

The present paper deals with the videogame “Nabbovaldo and the Cyber Blackmail”, designed, developed and promoted by the Ludoteca del Registro.it, the educational section of Registro.it, the registry of Italian internet domains that works within ...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, remote learning (RL) transformed the educational landscape for hands-on Computer Science courses. This paradigm shift accelerated the transition from traditional in-person programming labs to decentralized student-provided ...

For many individuals, particularly youth, cryptography remains a hidden component of information technology, digital communications, and cybersecurity. Decrypting this complex field is an essential and valuable skill for protecting our modern digital ...

In today’s digital world, it is imperative that the next generation of workers is prepared to be successful working online. Students graduating from a technology curriculum may be prepared for secure digital work due to the nature of their coursework, ...

Various publicly available studies show that millions of cybersecurity experts are missing worldwide. One possible way to tackle the workforce gap is with tailored higher education programmes. The goal of this paper is to present the relevant projects ...

As cyber threats endanger everyone, from regular users to computing professionals, spreading cybersecurity awareness becomes increasingly critical. Therefore, our university designed an innovative cybersecurity awareness course that is freely available ...

This poster presents an ongoing study that takes a diverse and inclusive approach to designing a practical group work assessment for an undergraduate cybersecurity course delivered to third year university cohorts. Students were given the choice to ...
