Abstract

Developing advanced cybersecurity training programs is crucial for increasing cybersecurity awareness, especially when dealing with Critical Infrastructures (CIs). There is a significant gap in addressing both theoretical and practical activities to build a comprehensive and effective program that matches real-life cyberattacks on critical systems. This paper presents the efforts undertaken within the EU project CyberSecPro to bridge this gap by providing advanced training materials that align theoretical insights with practical activities to handle real scenarios.
