Abstract

Numerous organisations and companies have undergone significant transitions into the digital realm following the onset of Covid in late 2019, resulting in an increase in cybercrimes. Many current generations may be unaware that their personal information is occasionally vulnerable, making them susceptible to hackers. Several researchers have developed strategies to address this problem by employing gamification techniques to enhance the security of information and privacy for both students and working professionals. Nevertheless, not all individuals from the current generations are actively involved in the solutions, meaning they may be excluded or struggle to comprehend the intricacies of the terms and security features being discussed. This paper aims to present a straightforward and precise understanding of an interactive novel tool that can enhance individuals' knowledge of information security while browsing the internet on multiple devices. The target audience for this tool is individuals above the age of seventeen in the present generation. The respondents' high level of awareness and concern over the possible drawbacks of online information is evident. Over half of the respondents, specifically 52%, possess knowledge of all the stated information security features signifying a potential inclination to pay more attention to online communications, potentially motivated by an increased awareness of cybersecurity.
