Information technologies and society are highly interwoven nowadays, but in both, the private and business sector, users are often not aware of security issues or lack proper security skills. The branch of information technology security is growing constantly but attacks against the vocational sector as well as the personal sector still cause great losses each day. Considering that the end-user is the weakest link of the security chain we aim to raise awareness, regarding IT security, and train and educate IT security skills by establishing a European-wide initiative and framework.
