Cybersecurity Awareness Platform - An Interactive Training Module for Educating Users
Abstract: People are now much more vulnerable to cyberthreats like phishing, malware, identity theft, ransomware, and social engineering attacks due to the quick rise in internet usage and digital services. Most of these attacks succeed not because of technical flaws but due to a lack of user awareness and unsafe online behaviours. Traditional awareness programs often rely on static content and lack user engagement, resulting in poor knowledge retention and limited behavioural change. This research proposes the design and implementation of a Cyber Security Awareness Platform that offers an interactive and engaging learning environment. The platform combines multimedia educational modules, real-time attack simulations, gamified quizzes, and performance analytics to improve users' understanding of cybersecurity threats and safe digital practices. Based on user performance and knowledge gaps, the system's personalised learning approach modifies training. Phishing detection, password security procedures, and general cyber hygiene have all significantly improved, according to an experimental evaluation conducted with a group of users. The proposed platform proves the effectiveness of experiential and gamified learning in enhancing cybersecurity awareness.
