Book excerpt: The need for well-trained Information Security and Assurance (ISA) professionals, as well as general information security awareness, has increased considerably in the last decade and shows no sign of slowing. To address this need, both industry and academia have been driven to innovative approaches. The use of digital games and game mechanics to further education has received growing attention and respect in the last several years. There is strong evidence that thoughtful employment of gaming elements can improve motivation and understanding. This paper provides a broad background on the topics of game-based learning, gamification, and serious games. Further, it describes our ongoing approach to developing and promoting digital games for information security awareness, including two game designs and a gamification system architecture.
