Re: [SPARTA - bodies.dissemination-committee] Request for SPARTA acknowledgement for accepted paper

Dear All, I add 2 more papers from SPARTA WP9 that will be presented at ARES ETACS: Tomas Lieskovan and Jan Hajný: Building Open Source Cyber Range To Teach Cyber Security This paper deals with the use of cyber range in education to teach cybersecurity. Particular attention is paid exclusively to open-source solutions, as such solutions are available to the general public, which is essential in raising awareness of cyber defense. First,the available open-source cyber ranges are described, their advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently, it presents our selected solution, the procedure of implementation in the Brno University of Technology laboratory, our use in our study programe and stress testing of selected cyber range. Last but not least, it provides a unique guide to designing and building own open-source cyber range LAB from scratch. Jan Hajny, Sara Ricci, Edmundas Piesarskas and Marek Sikora: Cybersecurity Curricula Designer The paper aims at minimizing the skills gaps and skills shortages on the cybersecurity job market by empowering education and training institutions during the process of creation of new cybersecurity study programs. We provide a complex cybersecurity skills framework based on standardized definitions that helps with the identification of skills and knowledge necessary for cybersecurity work positions. Furthermore, we practically implement the framework in the form of an interactive web application for cybersecurity curricula design. The app, called Curricula Designer, is built upon the framework and allows intuitive design of higher-education curricula and their analysis with respect to requirements of work roles already defined in widely-accepted standards. Using the analytical functions, it is easy to identify missing content in the courses and precisely structure the study program so that the graduates are well-prepared to enter the job market. The Curricula Designer is described in details in this paper, including user interface and technical background, and a link for public free access is provided to serve all education and training institutions.
