Abstract :
The fabrication of formal and confidential information can occur in a matter of seconds owing to the ease and versatility of the electronic medium. Security-related risks increase when we incorporate Internet use into our daily lives. A lack of awareness plays a major role in the security and privacy breach of online users. A comprehensive amount of knowledge is therefore important to enable the user to mitigate online security and privacy-related risks. Every user must understand the environment of the intangible medium of the World Wide Web, in order to decrease the number of people who fall victim to online crimes. This knowledge is covered in the Information Security Awareness Portal (ISAP).
