Due to the evolution of cyberattacks, the need to deploy modern cybersecurity learning environments is constantly increasing. Furthermore, the security challenges of the digital era are inevitably connected to the human factor, which urges personnel to become familiar with state-of-the-art security software for mitigating and detecting cyberattacks. Cybersecurity learning environments include, among others, virtual labs, Cyber Ranges and Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges, providing interactive digital learning environments for trainees to engage in complex cybersecurity scenarios. However, scenario design is not always governed by specific design principles, and the learning outcomes of the cybersecurity exercises are not always clearly defined. In this paper, a cybersecurity educational framework was used to guide the design of cybersecurity scenarios and a Cyber Range to host the scenarios was developed as a proof-of-concept. This work suggests that educators could use the proposed design methodology to design cybersecurity learning environments, including, but not limited to, Cyber Ranges.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
