COLTRANE aims to modernize and streamline cybersecurity education across Europe by introducing innovative education concepts ... in the context of collaborative awareness education. As most of the knowledge areas relating to cybersecurity are specific to certain areas and disciplines, cybersecurity awareness education creates an overarching theme to have the widest possible relevance, creating tangible impact on security, and creating a promise of not just academic discussion but real consequences in the security of European citizens. Awareness of the critical nature of cyber security issues is the key ingredient for students to focus on, and lack of awareness is a source of tremendous issues. As such, success in improving awareness can deliver significant positive impacts. Few other fields require such a holistic and multidisciplinary view on things as cybersecurity does. In order to understand cybersecurity (and its problems), students have to be able to understand various related technological, legal, economic, social and psychological aspects that can influence it. Traditional forms of education mainly focus on knowledge transmission, but in highly dynamic areas such as cybersecurity this does not lead to sufficient learning outcomes. We therefore need more innovative forms of education that aim at the development of joint action: being able to act in a variety of situations and knowing how to do this together. read more
