| Abstract: Living in the digital era, computers and the
Internet became important tools used by people to support
significant parts of their everyday life such as work,
education, socializing, entertainment, communication, etc.
However, there are certain risks involved in using ICT
technologies, and thus all ICT users should be aware of the
basic principles of information security and data protection.
No matter how much expertise is put into securing
information assets and networks (e.g. firewalls, encryption)
the human factor always remains a vulnerability. Our vision
is to aid towards the development of information security
awareness culture by using a 3D Virtual World Learning
Environment that will simulate real-life security threat
scenarios, examples and counterexamples in a way that
different groups of users will experience the risks and
combine critical skills, knowledge and collaboration to
overcome them, without exposing their organization to real
risk. In this paper we provide the results of the end user
requirements collection and analysis in order to define and
develop the specifications of the aforementioned 3D Virtual
World Learning Environment and the specifications of the
in-world activities. |
