Digitalization of production and management as the imperatives of Industry 4.0 stipulated the requirements of state regulators for informing and training personnel of a significant object of critical information infrastructure. However, the attention of industrial enterprises to this problem is assessed as insufficient. This determines the relevance and purpose of this article - to develop a methodology and tool for raising the awareness of workers of an industrial enterprise about information security (IS) of significant objects of critical information infrastructure. The article reveals the features of training at industrial enterprises associated with a high level of development of safety and labor protection systems. Traditional and innovative methods and means of training personnel at the workplace within the framework of these systems and their opportunities for training in the field of information security are shown. The specificity of the content and forms of training employees on the security of critical information infrastructure has been substantiated. The scientific novelty of the study consists in the development of methods and software applications that can perform the functions of identifying personal qualities of employees; testing the input level of their knowledge in the field of IS; testing for knowledge of IS rules (by the example of a response to socio-engineering attacks); planning an individual thematic plan for employee training; automatic creation of a modular program and its content; automatic notification of the employee about the training schedule at the workplace; organization of training according to the schedule; control self-testing and testing the level of knowledge of the employee after training; organizing a survey to determine satisfaction with employee training. The practical significance of the work lies in the possibility of implementing the developed software application in industrial enterprises, which is confirmed by the successful results of its testing.
1
A methodology and software application were developed to raise industrial enterprise workers' awareness of information security for critical information infrastructure.
2
Practical applicability is demonstrated: the developed software was successfully tested and can be implemented in industrial enterprises.
3
The application supports scheduled training delivery, self-testing, post-training knowledge assessment, and surveys to measure employee training satisfaction.
4
The software identifies employees' personal qualities and tests their initial knowledge and rule awareness in information security, including responses to social-engineering attacks.
5
The system plans individualized thematic training plans, automatically creates modular programs and content, and notifies employees about workplace training schedules.
