Evaluating Human-Centric Cybersecurity Training Effectiveness in High-Risk Organizational Environments and Remote Work Settings
Human factors are critical to cybersecurity, yet the efficacy of specific training interventions remains variable across different organizational structures. This study explores how targeted behavioral training impacts employee adherence to security protocols in high-risk environments.
In plain words
People working from home can be tricked into giving away access to their organisation's systems. Does security training designed around how people actually behave make staff in high risk organisations less likely to fall for it?
Primary research question
To what extent do tailored human-centric cybersecurity interventions reduce vulnerability to social engineering attacks in remote work settings?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
It remains useful to test how specific human factor interventions correlate with measurable reductions in security breaches.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
Improving human-centric security is vital for mitigating the most common entry points for cyber threats.
