Abstract

Information security awareness is becoming increasingly important these days. It is not enough to have a well-developed physical and logical protection of the  system and stored data; the users of these systems have to keep up with  technological development and have to be sufficiently aware or cautious when  using these systems. Information Security Awareness Programs provide the most  effective solution for the improvement of users’ information security knowledge  and digital competencies. The aim of this study is to help organisations in finding  and providing an effective way of knowledge transfer. The study identifies the key  elements of the implementation of the awareness programs and highlights the  importance of communication channels and methods. The essay summarises and  shows the most effective techniques that experts can use in order to draw the user’s attention toward information security, like real-life simulation scenarios,  interactive games, themed awareness videos and other gamification techniques.
