About this ebook

As cyber threats grow in complexity, the need for effective education has become urgent. However, traditional teaching methods struggle to engage learners and stimulate them. This has led to many educators leaning towards game-based learning strategies that can motivate and develop skills in cybersecurity training. The approach not only fosters deeper understanding and retention of complex concepts but also cultivates critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for today’s cybersecurity professionals.

Gamification Learning Framework for Cybersecurity Education addresses the need to develop a gamification learning framework as a positive tool in cybersecurity education. It discusses how these tools can cultivate interest in the cybersecurity domain. Covering topics such as artificial intelligence, learning platforms, and student learning outcomes, this book is an excellent resource for researchers, academicians, students, cybersecurity professionals, and more.
