Helping companies to evaluate their status quo in information security with a serious gaming-based economic quantification approach
- The number of cyber-attacks on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) is constantly increasing. 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
