Task and problem
IT security is a complex web of attack vectors, countermeasures, defense technologies and awareness measures. Even experienced IT administrators are sometimes overwhelmed in the face of an immensely agile, constantly changing security and disturbing news situation on dangerous computer system attacks and ever new malware. In this difficult subject matter, this presents IT managers in small and medium-sized companies with major challenges. The ELITE project is designed to create places of experience to experience IT security through mobile IT security pop-up labs.
Approach and technical implementation
ELITE pursues the goal of making complex attacks and defense technologies of IT security tangible and experienceable for broad target groups. An immersive environment in the form of an exhibit construction kit, the so-called IT-Sec.PopUp-Lab, is to be created to give visitors a concrete impression of IT security risks. The IT-Sec.PopUp-Labs are intended to provide a look behind the scenes to enable the respective test persons to recognize dangers in the future and to see through the tricks of those who want to attack us, compromise us, blackmail us or steal our company knowledge.
