“…In another study, in [35], the authors verified the effectiveness of gamification in reducing cyber incidents and offer a constructive application of a framework that can help to improve cyber safety skills and capabilities for learners in schools. The study also discovered that the rise in cyber incidents shows that the traditional methodologies used to train and bring awareness are insufficient to build the necessary cyber safety skills and capabilities.…”

“…The study also discovered that gamification can be a promising methodology that can bring some changes to the behaviour of learners in cyber space at early stages. In [35], the authors came up with a proposal for a cyber hero framework for information security awareness and training programs that can fight human error in cyber space. In [35], the authors discovered massive progress in the skills and capabilities of cyber safety for learners using the cyber hero framework.…”

“…The authors believe that it is very important for role players to be aware of the reporting procedures because at the moment, the principals, educators, and parents are not sure of what procedures to follow when learners are being harassed online [10,32]. In [35], the authors emphasized that role players should be informed of the cyber incident reporting procedures especially if these frameworks are to be usable.…”

With increases in technological usage, cyber incidents are also on the rise and have become a major concern in schools across the globe. What is of significant concern is that cyber incidents in South African schools are also on the rise. Existing evidence suggests that, in South Africa there are no clear procedures that are consistently followed by schools on how to report cyber incidents. The aim of this research is therefore to propose cyber incident handling procedures to enhance the effectiveness in handling cyber incidents as well as ensuring that each role player has an important contribution in the intervention process that is designed to reduce cyber incidents in South African schools. The study also assessed the perception of learners on cyber incidents in South Africa. Using the literature review approach and thematic analysis of the data collected from learners the study highlighted the procedures and roles of role players that can assist in cyber incident handling in South African schools. The study also came up with a detailed analysis of the views of learners on cyber incidents in South Africa. The results presented can help to provide a framework that will act as a guide on reporting cyber incidents and directing school management, and all within the school, towards appropriate reporting procedures and intervention processes. The study also found out that the rise in cyber incidents in South African schools, if left unaddressed, can have a devastating effect on learners. Therefore, the government of South Africa, through the Department of Basic Education, must prioritize the handling of cyber incidents in schools as cyber incidents are now a threat to the efficient and effective execution of the mandate of the department.

“…Many recent works and research have been done to improve the quality of delivering cyber security education. Some proposed a gamification [15] [16] [17] of cyber security content for education, multimedia tools [18] [19] and simulation such as cyber range [20] [21]. The work of [15] proposes a framework for information security awareness and training programs called as Cyber-Hero, but the framework only focuses on raising awareness of human weakness and social engineering and left out other technical skills in cyber security.…”

Nowadays the threat of cyber-attacks is increasing as more organizations undergo digital transformation. Therefore, organizations need to take proactive measures to mitigate the cyber threat to avoid further loss to their business. To mitigate cyber risk effectively, organizations need to employ competent people in the IT security team to implement effective security controls. But there is a shortage of cyber security talent or professionals in the job market and to produce talents in the cyber security field requires extensive effort in education and training. A good cyber security education program should have to date curriculum and provide practical experience. To achieve this, the program must be supported by a cyber security lab equipped with various software, equipment, and tools used by a real professional in the industry. Therefore, this paper proposed a model of a cyber security lab equipped with honeypot and SIEM systems to enhance the quality of cyber security education. The cyber security lab based on the model was deployed at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) and used for teaching and learning activities. The honeypot will provide student experience analyzing the behaviour of hackers while the SIEM system will aggregate the logs data of the Campus Network Firewall in real-time. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed lab model, a functional test and a survey was conducted. The survey result shows that majority of the respondent agreed that the cyber security lab improve their teaching and learning experience while taking the cyber security subject.
