Gamification

# Security training gamification
class SecurityTraining:
    def __init__(self):
        self.points = 0
        self.badges = []
    
    def complete_module(self, module):
        self.points += module.points
        if module.points >= 100:
            self.badges.append(f"{module.name}_master")
    
    def report_phishing(self):
        self.points += 50
        self.badges.append("phishing_hunter")

Best Practices

1. Regular cadence — Monthly/quarterly
2. Role-based — Tailored content
3. Hands-on — Practical exercises
4. Measured — Track effectiveness
5. Updated — Current threats
