Thriving in the era of hybrid work: Raising cybersecurity awareness using serious games in industry trainings

The important missions of modern software engineering education are to prepare software engineers to work in a hybrid mode and to address the need to enablethem to write secure code and deliver secure products and services to the customer. Providing training akin to an authentic experience poses several challenges, such as hybrid infrastructures, lack of engagement, and interactions. Cybersecurity and
cybersecurity awareness have also gained importance due to the shift towards work-from-home (WFH) or work-from-anywhere (WFA): The work environment is forced to be distributed across large heterogeneous networks with diIerent security levels.
