Gamification is a term used to describe the art of taking a process or a task and making it into a game. Using games as a way to make mundane tasks or necessary lessons more fun is used in many aspects of life. Parents often use games to teach children tasks, and teachers use games to enforce learning, and much more. The gamification of Security Awareness Training Programs has been researched recently due to the rise of security breaches worldwide. Unfortunately, there have been very low participation rates in the methods tried over the years. This paper will highlight the different aspects of research that have been conducted in the areas of security awareness training, psychology for changing human behavior, and studies that have attempted to combine the two. The purpose of this literature review is to determine possible areas where more research should be pursued to gain increased security awareness and enhanced programs that may have a positive effect on security awareness behaviors and the persistence of those behaviors.
