Applying game design elements in cyber security awareness activities can simplify familiarisation with terms and concepts through a hands-on experience and motivate employees’ participation, helping to enhance cyber resilience culture.
To assist in this ENISA, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity has launched an updated version of its ‘Awareness Raising in a Box’ free tool.
AR-in-a-Box allows all sizes and types of organization to improve their knowledge on cyber security awareness techniques. The toolkit offers a blend of theoretical frameworks and practical resources, enabling organizations to craft tailored cyber security awareness programmes, including gamification of content.
Notably, the updated version features an online Cyber Awareness Game accessible through the EU ACADEMY. It also includes the existing catalogue of instructions, games and activities but has been enriched with the addition of a new guide for the development of internal and external cyber crisis communication plans.
