Abstract

The current supply of a highly specialized cyber security professionals cannot meet the demands for societies seeking digitization. To close the skill gap, there is a need for introducing students in higher education to cyber security, and to combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills. This paper presents how the cyber security training platform Haaukins, initially developed to increase interest and knowledge of cyber security among high school students, was further developed to support the need for training in higher education. Based on the differences between the existing and new target audiences, a set of design principles were derived which shaped the technical adjustments required to provide a suitable platform - mainly related to dynamic tooling, centralized access to exercises, and scalability of the platform to support courses running over longer periods of time. The implementation of these adjustments has led to a series of teaching sessions in various institutions of higher education, demonstrating the viability for Haaukins for the new target audience.
弥合差距:使安全教育平台适应新的受众
目前高度专业化的网络安全专业人员的供应不能满足社会寻求数字化的需求。为了缩小技能差距,有必要向高等教育的学生介绍网络安全知识,并将理论知识与实践技能结合起来。本文介绍了网络安全培训平台Haaukins是如何进一步发展以支持高等教育培训需求的,该平台最初是为了提高高中生对网络安全的兴趣和知识而开发的。基于现有目标受众和新目标受众之间的差异,得出了一组设计原则,这些原则形成了提供合适平台所需的技术调整——主要与动态工具、集中访问练习以及平台的可扩展性相关,以支持更长时间运行的课程。这些调整的实施导致了各种高等教育机构的一系列教学课程,证明了霍金斯对新的目标受众的可行性。
