A Review of the Impact of Training on Cybersecurity Awareness

Ahmed Alruwaili

Abstract


This study aimed to review the studies carried out on the impact of training on cybersecurity awareness. Various databases were searched for keywords ‘cybersecurity & training’, ‘cybersecurity & training & impact’ and ‘cybersecurity awareness & training.’ These studies were also shortlisted as per the year of publication. The review found that during recent years, the increasing use of the Internet in professional and private spheres has led to an explosion in the rate of cybercrime across the world. Training on cybersecurity awareness has seen a mixed impact, with some studies claiming that such training has limited results. Some authors have talked about the customisation of training programs for effective cybersecurity awareness generation.

Keywords
