Final Year Project

Project Title

Cybaware: Cybersecurity Awareness Training Through Serious Games

Description

There are many technologies available to companies to deal with the threat of cyberattacks. However, most security breaches that corporations face tend to be the result of social engineering by cybercriminals. In, fact “80 percent of all cyberattacks are believed to result from accidental, intentional or malicious human behavior.” There is a need for Information Security awareness among corporate employees. With this project we aim to use the framework of Serious Games to raise awareness about cybersecurity threats more effectively among individuals in the business sector.
