Development of an Educational and Awareness Website Cybersecurity Learning System

Abstract

Conventional cybersecurity awareness approaches usually lack sufficient interactivity and practicability, making users susceptible and prone to cyberattacks. To overcome this challenge, this project developed the Cybersecurity Learning System to meet emerging demands for cybersecurity education due to an increase in cyberattacks based on exploiting human errors, such as phishing, social engineering, malicious links, and deception. This web-based educational system was designed and implemented using technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL. The website includes educational content modules, interactive exercises, feedback, and visual learning capabilities based on cybersecurity risks, such as phishing, malicious attachments, social network scams, pretexting, and tailgating awareness. The web system was tested to determine its capability in providing cybersecurity education, ease of use, and accessibility. It was found that the platform has effectively provided a structured and user-friendly approach to learning about cybersecurity concepts.
