COM³ partners at Aalborg University, Denmark, have created a comprehensive training solution about cybersecurity readiness through honeypots. Local and regional authorities, business support organisations and SMEs can all learn from this.
Aalborg University has a comprehensive knowledge and expertise in the field of internet services and applications, including the take-up of new technologies in the industry such as industry 4.0 and internet of things. It has set a strategic focus on cybersecurity and contributes to several initiatives and projects. In COM³, Aalborg University brings its expertise and helps develop support measures so that SMEs can adopt new technologies in a safe environment.
In this context, Shreyas Srinivasa, PhD researcher at Aalborg University, created a training module “Cybersecurity Readiness through Honeypots“ to help participants understand the importance of cybersecurity and give them keys to use defensive tools like honeypots for early detection of threats.
Through this e-learning module, participants will gain a better understanding of defensive security systems. These facilitate defending against Internet and Cyberattacks by early detection of threats. They also help in administration of security settings in the organization digital infrastructure.
The training module is freely available here:

The reliance of society on technology is increasing exponentially. Today, information is stored and processed electronically to achieve faster and accurate feedback. This reliance causes increased dependency of humans towards technology. Technology providers and enablers tend to meet this demand with affordable solutions and focus less on security. Moreover, many providers offer essential services that collect user information and use this private information to improve their businesses.
