<p>Gamification has been characterized as the usage of video game elements in non-game environments. Gamification in cybersecurity awareness training can lead to more engaging interactions, greater pleasure, and increased security. Serious games are becoming increasingly popular since they allow learning in a natural setting. Although many of the principles covered in cybersecurity awareness training are universal, many forms of training fail because they rely on rote learning and do not require users to think about security concepts. The primary goal of this research is to conduct a review of the literature on cybersecurity awareness training methodologies and frameworks, as well as serious games that may be used to raise awareness among people, organizations, and first responders.</p>

“…A review of prior literature highlights the nature of such efforts which are largely comprised of "one-size-fits-all" and "cookie-cutter" education programs that are compliance-based and do not produce long-term results [9,11]. More specifically, the state of cybersecurity awareness training as it exists today falls under three primary themes as outlined in Figure 4: behavioral and compliance-based programs, Artificial-Intelligence (AI)-driven efforts, and general education [1,9,15,29]. Below is a discussion on the limitations of each.…”

The role of end-users in cybersecurity continues to be understated. Despite the proliferation of cyber-attacks, security awareness programs remain largely “check-in-the-box” compliance exercises that do not yield sustainable results. This chapter advances the notion that mindfulness is the foundation and the key to establishing a robust online presence and is the precursor to cybersecurity resilience. More specifically, this chapter summarizes traditional cybersecurity risk management practices and highlights why they continue to fail given the evolving nature of cyber threats. Finally, this chapter outlines a novel blueprint to cultivate mindfulness and calls for the empowerment of individuals to take ownership of their destiny in cyberspace.
