“…However, providers are not the only ones responsible for the disclosure of personal data, but users should also assume their own responsibility taking action for their privacy protection [12]. Especially effective to this direction could be research in information privacy competency domain, which not only can help understanding individual's privacy protective behavior, but can also trigger its enhanced protective behavior [13][14]. Although Tsohou [14] proposes an information privacy competency model (IPCM) for citizens, literature is still limited in the investigation of privacy competencies that users should hold so as to e ciently respond to privacy challenges in speci c online environments.…”

The purpose of this paper is to present and validate two domain-specific information privacy competency models (IPCMs); the first for online consumers and the second for users of mobile applications (apps), which were developed conceptually by the authors. For the validation of the proposed competency models, we conducted qualitative research, using interviews to collect feedback by a group of nine information privacy experts. The development of the domain specific IPCMs demonstrated that core privacy competencies are pervasive to the two domains that we studied, but also that there are privacy competencies that are especially required per domain of activity. Regarding the evaluation, the experts commented largely positively for the structure and content of the IPCMs, as well as for the extent to which they achieve the intended goals. They also provided several points for improvements, which resulted in enhancing the quality of both IPCMs. This is the first study to examine the privacy competencies that users of specific technological contexts should hold. The IPCMs can be used not only by educators and privacy policy makers for the design of privacy interventions, but also by e-commerce and mobile-apps providers, who could gain important insights into the way that they can be more reliable for their users. Both consumers and users of mobile-apps could benefit from IPCMs by acquiring the necessary privacy competencies through training programs for the protection of their information privacy.

Incorporating gamification elements and innovative approaches in training and educational programs are promising for addressing cybersecurity knowledge gaps. Cybersecurity training should consider a combination of hard and soft skills to deal with the diversity of cyber incidents. Therefore, this research aims to investigate if soft skills such as communication and collaboration enhances students’ performance in practical task execution and if the CyberEscape approach promotes students engagement and self-efficacy.This paper presents a cybersecurity game CyberEscape based on the intervention mapping methodology previously defined in the research. A virtualised infrastructure simulating the business environment works as a hybrid escape room. Physical resources and prepared information materials complement the game to support the scenario and ensure student engagement. The work employs a multiple-methods research approach. Participants filled out questionnaires in the pre-event and post-execution phases. Additionally, the participants were involved in small group semi-structured interviews. Results of the pilot study show a positive impact on student competence improvement and increased interest in cybersecurity.
