DAMOCLES

Detection And Mitigation Of Cyber attacks that exploit human vuLnerabilitiES

Leverage Human Vulnerability Assessment & Mitigation

What is DAMOCLES?

DAMOCLES is a cybersecurity research project aimed at protecting Italian Public Administrations from security breaches caused by human error. Our innovative framework integrates Human Vulnerability Assessment (HVA) and Human Vulnerability Mitigation (HVM) techniques to prevent cyber incidents.

Key Features

Human Vulnerability Assessment

We identify possible cyber security risks caused by human error through psychometric questionnaires, ethical phishing campaigns, and simulations of user behaviour during various cyber attacks.

Human Vulnerability Mitigation

Based on the risks identified in the assessment phase, we propose solutions to mitigate possible user misbehaviour through customised user profile training campaigns. Such training campaigns can be delivered as readable texts, podcasts, video tutorials, role-playing games.

Fully customisable

Considering the many different user requirements, the platform can be easily customised to the specific usage needs of the public administration.
