As organizations continue to grapple with the escalating threat landscape of cyber-attacks, the imperative to fortify their cybersecurity defenses becomes increasingly paramount. This review delves into the critical realm of cybersecurity awareness and education programs, focusing on the pivotal factors of employee engagement and accountability. The effectiveness of these programs in cultivating a cyber-resilient workforce is scrutinized through an extensive examination of existing literature, empirical studies, and industry practices. The review begins by exploring the foundational elements of cybersecurity awareness programs, elucidating the significance of imparting knowledge and instilling a culture of vigilance among employees. It examines the diverse methodologies employed in these programs, ranging from interactive workshops and simulated phishing exercises to online modules and gamified learning platforms. A comparative analysis of these approaches sheds light on their respective strengths and limitations. A central theme of this review revolves around the nexus between employee engagement and cybersecurity resilience. It delves into the psychological and behavioral aspects of engagement, assessing how motivational factors and tailored learning experiences contribute to heightened cybersecurity awareness. The impact of organizational culture and leadership support on fostering a sense of responsibility among employees is also explored, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach that transcends mere compliance. Furthermore, the review investigates the role of accountability in sustaining the efficacy of cybersecurity initiatives. It examines the mechanisms employed by organizations to enforce adherence to security policies and protocols, emphasizing the role of robust monitoring systems, clear communication channels, and consequence management. Case studies and real-world examples are integrated to illustrate instances of successful accountability frameworks and their influence on overall cybersecurity posture. This review synthesizes key findings and identifies emerging trends in cybersecurity awareness and education programs, with a particular focus on optimizing employee engagement and fostering a culture of accountability. The insights gleaned from this analysis provide a roadmap for organizations seeking to fortify their defenses against evolving cyber threats by cultivating a vigilant and proactive workforce. Keywords: Cybersecurity, Education, Cyber threat, Employee engagement, Accountability.
