SMEs do not recognize the attacks until the damage has occurred. Only then, they fight with measures to increase IT-security and IT-safety. Many studies come to the point that this refers to a lack of budget, expertise and awareness of the need for IT-security. There are many compendia with recommendations for action, but they are too comprehensive and unspecific to the individual needs of SMEs. In this paper, we present the results of a research activity on the gaps that address the challenges faced by SMEs. In addition, we develop a concept for a serious gaming approach that includes an economic perspective on IT-security measures and shows how SMEs can derive their own IT-seurity target state KW - Cyber Security KW - SV7313 KW - Informationssicherheit KW - IT-Security KW - KMU KW - digital transformation KW - economic quantification KW - manufacturing companies KW - serious gaming KW - SMEs Y1 - 2023 UR - https://epub.fir.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/449 UR - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212827120310209 SN - 2212-8271 SP - 587 EP - 592 PB - Elsevier CY - Amsterdam ER -
