Encouraging your workforce to actively engage with cybersecurity awareness content can be a challenge.
Employees often perceive information security as daunting, technical, and restrictive—making it difficult to spread awareness beyond the surface level. So how can we deepen user engagement and build trust by showing information security as approachable, digestible, and fun? Through games.
Leveraging tools our company already has (PowerPoint and PowerApps), we create completely customized games catered to current company needs and security trends. Since “leveling up” our gamification efforts, we’ve seen a significant increase in audience participation. Users report they are better able to retain information, feel more secure in their cybersecurity decision-making, and actively seek out our other content.
At the conclusion of this presentation, attendees will be able to:
- Think creatively about resources that might already be available at their company.
- Learn strategies for selecting a topic and theme.
- Design themed graphics.
- Develop a marketing plan to distribute their games.
- Gather metrics and feedback to demonstrate learning and effectiveness.
