Description
Summary:Considering the alarming increase in cyberattacks and their potential financial implications, the importance of cybersecurity education and training cannot be overstated. This paper presents a systematic literature review that examines different cybersecurity education and training techniques with a focus on symmetry. It primarily focuses on traditional cybersecurity education techniques and emerging technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), through the lens of symmetry. The main objective of this study is to explore the existing cybersecurity training techniques, identify the challenges involved, and assess the effectiveness of cybersecurity training based on VR and AR while emphasizing the concept of symmetry. Through careful selection criteria, 66 primary studies were selected from a total of 150 pertinent research studies. This article offers valuable insights into the pros and cons of conventional training approaches, explores the use of VR and AR in cybersecurity education concerning symmetry, and thoroughly discusses the challenges associated with these technologies. The findings of this review contribute significantly to the continuing efforts in cybersecurity education by offering recommendations for improving employees’ knowledge, engagement, and motivation in cybersecurity training programs while maintaining symmetry in the learning process.
