Pedagogical Basis of Live Cybersecurity Exercises
Abstract
The digitalisation of societies, working life, and education is changing their forms
and practices. As a component of digitalisation and new ways of operating in a
digital domain, change has also brought with it new risks for the digital operating
environment. ICT infrastructure constitutes a critical new development, and
cybersecurity competency needs for managing digital domains are growing and
evolving. To provide the knowledge and skills needed for working life, education
and training environments must also evolve in response to change. As part of
cybersecurity education, cybersecurity exercises have an established position in
competency development.
This study examined the pedagogical principles of cybersecurity training
and identified the pedagogical requirements for a comprehensive cyber arenastyle
education platform. The learning of individuals was measured through
both on-site and online cybersecurity exercises. Methodologies for evaluating
cybersecurity exercises were studied as part of the exercise lifecycle. The study
also examined the requirements for continuous learning from both curriculum
design and cybersecurity in-service training perspectives.
Keywords: cybersecurity, cybersecurity exercise, cybersecurity education, inservice
