4. Functionalities

This mobile app aims to deliver engaging and accessible cybersecurity awareness

training for individuals and organizations. Here's a breakdown of its functionalities:

Content and Learning Modules:

● Curated Content Library:

○ A comprehensive collection of training modules covering various

cybersecurity topics:

■ Phishing and social engineering attacks (recognizing red flags,

avoiding scams)

■ Password security and best practices (strong password creation,

multi-factor authentication)

■ Malware and ransomware threats (types of malware, prevention

tips, recovery steps)

■ Secure browsing habits (identifying safe websites, avoiding

suspicious links)

■ Data privacy and protection (understanding data collection,

managing online privacy settings)

■ Mobile security considerations (securing mobile devices, using

strong app permissions)

■ Emerging cybersecurity threats (keeping users informed about

the latest trends)

○ Content tailored for different learning styles (text, infographics,

animations, videos)
