Securing Humans with Cybersecurity Awareness Training
Katie Marie Gutierrez
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, National University
Organizations need help keeping their infrastructure and data secure because cybercrimes and cyberattacks are rising. It is known that the highest risk to any organization is the risk that end users present (Aljeaid, 2020; Yuan, 2021). The problem to be addressed in this study is that end-user employees' behavior remains the biggest reason for cyberattacks in manufacturing organizations, and an effective mitigating tool is being sought (Aljeaid, 2020; Yuan, 2021). Cybersecurity awareness training is an integral part of a cybersecurity program because users need to understand what part they play in keeping the organization, which includes its data, systems, and infrastructure. For this research study, a quantitative research method is being used because this study is looking at the effects of cybersecurity training on end users to help prevent cyberattacks; several studies have used this approach and ended with results on effectiveness (Silic, 2020). Therefore, this data will give numerical data to measure whether cybersecurity awareness training effectively prevents cyberattacks. In addition, an experimental design will be used to measure the cause and effect of whether or not cybersecurity awareness training will help prevent cyberattacks. The analysis outcomes of the research questions were consistent, and all null hypotheses were rejected. This indicates that cybersecurity awareness training is an effective tool within the examined manufacturing organizations in the United States to prevent cybersecurity attacks related to human threats. Several recommendations can be made based on the results of this study and its implications for cybersecurity awareness training mitigating the human threat. Another future research project that can be conducted to take this topic further is researching which type of cybersecurity awareness topic method is most effective.
