ICT Security through Games

With the increasing number of connected devices today, there is a growing reliance on digital technologies. This trend brings along an increased incidence of information and communication technology (ICT) security risks that are increasingly impacting modern societies’ running. The issue of ICT security is constantly rising and requires proactive measures to improve the protection of information infrastructure. The primary criterion is prevention, which aims to prepare users for emergencies to protect the privacy and confidentiality of information. Prevention usually focuses on educating and informing users about the safe use of ICT. These activities include coaching and training to identify risks and correctly use security protocols and tools. Gamification has found its use in this area, motivating users to raise cybersecurity awareness through game elements in non-game environments.
