Key Success Factors of Cybersecurity Awareness in Distributed Teams

Abstract

Strong cybersecurity procedures are now more important than ever due to the increased reliance on remote workers. Given the dynamic nature of cyber threats and the necessity of preventative actions, this paper highlights the vital significance of thorough cybersecurity awareness training for remote workers. A customized cybersecurity awareness training model can improve distributed team preparedness and decrease cyberattacks. Organizations should institute regular security awareness programs to educate distributed teams on emerging cyber threats. Vendor businesses should prioritize security education to prevent cyberattacks and protect sensitive data. Our proposed model aims to improve distributed team members' preparedness against cyber threats, enabling organizations to safeguard remote work settings effectively. Our systematic literature review identified key cybersecurity factors, synthesized into 12 groups, including “Unified Governance Framework” and “Secure Mind Initiative.”
