| Summary: | In today’s digital age, almost everyone especially college students rely on technology and
the Internet. As a result, the unexpectedly rapid growth of cyber users creates the need for
healthy cyber habits and awareness. This is due to the increasing number of cyber security
incidents recorded. The increase in cyber security incidents shows that cyber security
awareness may still be insufficient among cyber users. Some cyber security incidents
occurred because of social engineering, poor password practices, and malicious mobile
applications. Therefore, from these incidents and the data collected through the
questionnaire, an educational app called EduSecure is proposed to assist in cyber security
education and awareness among UNIMAS students. As the proposed system is a mobile
application, it can be the easiest and the best way to reach cyber users. EduSecure, the
educational app for cyber security will provide learning topics regarding password
practices, social engineering, and mobile applications. Quiz games are also included for
the user to test their understanding after completing the learning topics. EduSecure focuses
on promoting gamification practices and implementing threat escape room concept in cyber
security. The use of the threat escape room in cyber security increases motivation and
promotes cyber security awareness learning. Therefore, the threat escape room has greater
potential than a traditional learning methodology about cyber security. The usability testing
reveals that EduSecure demonstrates good usability and effectively enhancing users’
understanding of cyber security. The app empowers users by providing valuable insights
that contribute to their improved knowledge of cyber security. Furthermore, the findings of
this work also demonstrated the effectiveness of employing gamification techniques and
threat escape rooms as a cyber security learning tool |
