Abstract(s)
This thesis presents the process of creating and developing the CyberCloud application for the
company EMVENCI, designed to improve user engagement with cybersecurity education within
the corporate environment, specifically through the Microsoft Teams platform. As organizations
increasingly rely on collaborative platforms like Microsoft Teams, traditional methods of promot ing cybersecurity, such as email campaigns, have become less effective. Therefore, it is essential
to implement innovative approaches that align with user habits, promoting greater participation in
cybersecurity initiatives and cultivating a more informed culture.
Based on EMVENCI’s existing Cybersecurity Cloud platform, the CyberCloud application was
created to provide employees with easy access to cybersecurity content within Microsoft Teams.
Key features include single sign-on (SSO) authentication and a notifications bot for real-time up dates on new elearning content and news, designed to integrate into users daily routines and im prove ongoing engagement.
The development process followed a four-phase methodology: (1) requirements analysis, (2) user
interface (UI) and technical architecture design, (3) technical development, and (4) testing plan.
In the analysis phase, relevant features from the existing platform were identified and aligned with
the project objectives. The development process was based on Angular and TypeScript for the UI,
Firebase Cloud Functions for real-time notifications, and Microsoft tools to ensure compatibility
with Microsoft Teams.
Due to time constraints and design changes, delays affected the execution of the planned test ing and deployment to the Microsoft Teams Store, limiting data collection and the ability to assess
the application long-term effectiveness in improving user engagement with cybersecurity initia tives. Despite this, user feedback from 6 participants highlighted positive responses to features
like Single-Sign On (SSO) and the clean UI design, though improvements were suggested for load
times when opening multimedia content and navigation between sections of the application. The
application showed potential in engaging users with cybersecurity training, but further optimiza tions are needed, and future evaluations should perform the complete testing plan with a large and
diversified sample of users to obtain a more complete assessment.
