CyberEDU 2020 | Call for Papers

CyberEDU  2020  Call for Papers
There is an increasing need to better understand the human factor in the cyber ecosystem, however much of the existing research is either entirely technical or it sees humans only as component (often as a risk) of the wider cyber ecosystem. This however is an idea which is increasingly challenged and there is need to produce a more substantial body of research and knowledge that shows to positive and active role of the human factor in cybersecurity.  In particular there is a need for shifting the narrative from the human factor to that of the human actor, with a proactive role in facilitating and supporting cybersecurity with also reference to the role of the end-user. The CyberEDU 2020 Call For Papers invites contributions that can advocate for positive consideration of human actors in the cyber ecosystem and seeks papers that can contribute to this message: the Human Element as the last line of defence in cyber! CyberEDU invites contributions in general and specialized topics like cybersecurity training and awareness where security tra ining and awareness are understood as the multitude of frameworks, methods and new ways of educating the human element. We seek a wide range of potential contributions including, but not limited to: case studies, empirical research papers, theory driven contributions and more. In 2019 the focus of CyberEDU was on the sharing of best practices between the Romanian and Finnish Presidencies of the Council of the EU, awarding best papers with presentations in the CyberShare conference, the Awareness Symposium of APWG EU and a journal publication. The 2020 CyberEDU will seek to promote the submitted papers in a similar way and invite to attend  a new project 'The international cyber lab at the Black Sea' in 2021.
