Sikolia, David; Biros, David; Zhang, Tianjian – Journal of Cybersecurity Education, Research and Practice, 2023
Prevalent security threats caused by human errors necessitate security education, training, and awareness (SETA) programs in organizations. Despite strong theoretical foundations in behavioral cybersecurity, field evidence on the effectiveness of SETA programs in mitigating actual threats is scarce. Since memory decay will inevitably occur after…
