| dc.description | Originally created by AMMAR EID B ALLUQMANI. There will be a major focus on “awareness in cyber security” for employees and the workforce within Saudi Arabia. It is important that employees working in critical government and private departments are educated on cyber security. Creating an awareness program for employees is the idea in order to better communicate with end users, IT, and employees. In such programs, such as apps and websites, once users log in and verify their identities, the application works and cannot be skipped until the application's requirements have been met. This application contains questions related to the last attack techniques used and how to defend against them. By taking this test, employees will have the opportunity to upgrade their knowledge based on pre-designed cyber security materials in the event that they fall short. | |
| dc.description.abstract | This project sought to enhance cybersecurity awareness among employees working for various government and private sector organizations through an interactive web-based application. Centered on supporting immediate learning, the platform offers educational materials, quizzes, and up-to-date news, and users are required to complete a quiz upon login. If users answer incorrectly, they are redirected to pertinent resources to promote continuous learning. An emergency login bypass is provided once monthly, and stringent security measures, such as robust password policies and two-factor authentication, are instituted. The backend utilizes PHP Laravel, chosen for its swift development capabilities, structured file organization, and extensive community support benefits. Additionally, Laravel’s Jetstream and Livewire frameworks expedite built-in component integration and authentication. The frontend leverages Tailwind CSS for flexibility. After designing the website, the platform was evaluated by critical department workers in the Saudi Arabian public sector via a survey. The platform received predominantly positive feedback, which negated the need for further alterations. Through using such platform, employees will refine their knowledge about cybersecurity threats which is necessary to save various important governmental departments and private establishments from online threats | |
