“…On the other hand, textual learning medium negatively impacts the ISA. By establishing the importance of knowledge on ISA (Abawayj, 2012;Al-Daeef et al, 2017), our study forms the basis for future efforts to scrutinize knowledge when examining ISA and its related issues. Second, our finding shows that only informal sources of knowledge have positive and significant impact on ISA.…”

“…Existing literature has studied various ISA-related knowledge aspects, such as knowledge delivery methods of ISA campaigns (Abawayj, 2012;Al-Daeef et al, 2017;Al-Hamdani, 2006), the role of knowledge types in improving ISA (Khan et al, 2011;Siponen, 2000), how the emotion of fear influences ISA positively and how different knowledge sources influence ISA (Al-Hamdani, 2006;Abawayj, 2012;Al-Daeef et al, 2017;Siponen, 2000). Based on the literature, we consolidated the knowledge aspects into types of knowledge, source of knowledge, medium of knowledge and emotion toward knowledge.…”

“…Al-Hamdani (2006) specifically calls for the need to understand the knowledge aspects of ISA. Al-Daeef et al (2017) examined the role of knowledge acquisition, knowledge retention and knowledge transfer on ISA, while Hwang et al (2019) found that empowering knowledge about information security will increase ISA. Heeding the importance of ISA in the literature, in this study, we will explore how different knowledge aspects contribute to ISA.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the different aspects of knowledge and how they associate with information security awareness (ISA). The paper also explores how ISA differs based on demographic characteristics. Design/methodology/approach Survey data was collected from 609 respondents in Malaysia. Findings The results show that increasing access to informal, multimedia learning mediums, declarative, schematic and strategic knowledge positively impacts an individual's ISA, whereas textual learning medium decreases the ISA. Respondents with different education levels significantly prefer different types of knowledge. Males learn better for ISA with schematic and strategic knowledge compared to females. Practical implications The research provides implications for governments and organizations in designing effective ISA campaigns. Originality/value Studies show that ISA is crucial in improving information systems policy compliance behavior. The literature has examined various topics ranging from the factors influencing the ISA to how ISA impacts information security behavior. However, there is a lack of study on how different aspects of knowledge impact ISA. This study identified various knowledge aspects from the literature and grouped them into the source, type of knowledge, emotion toward knowledge and learning medium.

“…Electronic media-based methods include computer-based training (CBT) and web-based training (WBT). Some other methods are formal instructor-led training, video-based, simulation-based and game-based methods (Abawajy, 2014;Al-Daeef et al, 2017;Ghazvini and Shukur, 2017). Previous research indicates that conventional delivery methods have limited success in changing the cybersecurity behaviour of the end-users (Bada et al, 2019;Hart et al, 2020).…”

Purpose The frequency and sophistication of cybercrimes are increasing. These cybercrimes are impacting government and private organizations as well as individuals. One of the countermeasures is to improve the cyber hygiene of the end-users. Serious games or game-based learning has emerged as a promising approach for implementing security education, training and awareness program. In this paper, the researchers propose a tabletop card game called Cyber Suraksha to increase threat awareness and motivate users to adopt recommended security controls for smartphone users. Cyber Suraksha provides an active learning environment for the players. This paper aims to provide the details of the design and evaluation of the game using a between-subjects design. Design/methodology/approach The researchers have used constructive learning theory and the Fogg behaviour model (FBM) to design a tabletop card game called Cyber Suraksha. The researchers evaluated the game using a between-subjects design. The participants' responses in the control and intervention groups were collected using the risk behaviour diagnosis scale. Pearson’s Chi-Square test with a 5% significance level was used to test the hypotheses. Findings The results indicate that the game is enjoyable and fun. Cyber Suraksha game effectively motivates users to adopt the recommended security control for the targeted behaviour. The results indicate that the participants in the intervention group are 2.65 times more likely to adopt recommended behaviour. The findings of this study provide evidence for the effectiveness of hope and fear appeals in improving cybersecurity awareness. Research limitations/implications The generalizability of the study is limited because the sample size is small compared to the total number of smartphone users in India, and only students from computer/IT UG programs in India are used as participants in this study. Practical implications This study uses hope and a fear appeal to design an effective serious game. It also demonstrates using the FBM and constructive learning principles for effective serious game design. Cyber Suraksha is effective for the student group and may be tested with other age groups. Originality/value To the researchers' knowledge, there are no serious games for cybersecurity awareness focusing on the threats faced by smartphone users based on FBM and constructive learning theory. This research used hope along with a fear appeal to motivate smartphone users to adopt recommended security controls.

This paper address the emergent need for training measures designed to improve user behavior in regards to security. We do this by proposing a framework for information security training that has been developed for several years and over several projects. The result is the framework ContextBased MicroTraining (CBMT) which provides goals and guidelines for how to better implement information security training that supports the user in the situation where the user needs support. CBMT has been developed and tested for use in higher education as well as for the support of users during passwords creation. This paper presents version 1.0 of the framework with the latest refinements.
