Abstract
ABSTRACT To help employees recognize and change their computing security behavior, organizations need to invest in cybersecurity training and awareness programs to encourage their employees’ active engagement in complying with their security policies. However, many organizations’ cybersecurity training and awareness programs fail to achieve their goals as employees feel bored with such training programs and lack enthusiasm to participate in them. Highlighting the criticality of the success of cybersecurity training and awareness programs in organizations, this paper identifies best practices and provides actionable insights (relating cyber awareness to employees’ personal life, reinforcing security procedures and guidelines, instilling a “relaxed alert” state of employees, and minimizing security fatigue for employees) that will help enterprises develop and implement economical, effective, and engaging cybersecurity training and awareness programs.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce (JOCEC) is to publish quality, fresh, and innovative work that will make a difference for future research and practice rather than focusing on well-established research areas.
JOCEC publishes original research that explores the relationships between computer/communication technology and the design, operations, and performance of organizations. This includes implications of the technologies for organizational structure and dynamics, technological advances to keep pace with changes of organizations and their environments, emerging technological possibilities for improving organizational performance, and the many facets of electronic business.
Theoretical, experimental, survey, and design science research are all welcome and might look at:
• E-commerce
• Collaborative commerce
• Interorganizational systems
• Enterprise systems
• Supply chain technologies
• Computer-supported cooperative work
• Computer-aided coordination
• Economics of organizational computing
• Technologies for organizational learning
• Behavioral aspects of organizational computing.
