摘要

本文对影响费尔蒙特州立大学(一所中等规模的州立大学)人类攻击面的几种网络安全风险进行了实验分析。我们考虑了两个社会工程实验:网络钓鱼电子邮件群发和有针对性的鱼叉式网络钓鱼活动。在网络钓鱼实验中,校园内共有 4,769 名学生、教职员工成为 90,000 封网络钓鱼邮件的目标。在这些实验中,我们探索了三种类型的网络钓鱼意识培训的有效性。我们的结果表明,能够通过 IT 部门防御系统的网络钓鱼电子邮件对大型教育机构构成了明显的威胁。此外,我们还发现,与冗长的文档或互动式培训相比,简单、直观的教学指南是更有效的培训工具。

Human risk factors in cybersecurity
This article presents an experimental analysis of several cybersecurity risks affecting the human attack surface of Fairmont State University, a mid-size state university. We consider two social engineering experiments: a phishing email barrage and a targeted spearphishing campaign. In the phishing experiment, a total of 4,769 students, faculty, and staff on campus were targeted by 90,000 phishing emails. Throughout these experiments, we explored the effectiveness of three types of phishing awareness training. Our results show that phishing emails that make it through IT’s defenses pose a clear and present threat to large educational organizations. Moreover, we found that simple, visual, instructional guides are more effective training tools than long documents or interactive training.

期刊介绍: This international peer-reviewed journal aims to advance knowledge in the growing and strongly interdisciplinary area of Interaction Studies in biological and artificial systems. Understanding social behaviour and communication in biological and artificial systems requires knowledge of evolutionary, developmental and neurobiological aspects of social behaviour and communication; the embodied nature of interactions; origins and characteristics of social and narrative intelligence; perception, action and communication in the context of dynamic and social environments; social learning.
