Abstract [en]

Insecure user behavior is the most common cause of cybersecurity incidents. Insecure behavior includes failing to detect phishing, insecure password management, and more. The problem has been known for decades, and state-of-the-art mitigation methods include security education, training, and awareness (SETA). A common problem with SETA is, however, that users do not seem to adopt it to a high enough extent. When users are not adopting SETA, its intended benefit is lost. Previous research argues for personalized SETA and suggests that different user groups have different SETA needs and preferences. The characteristics of those groups are, however, unknown. To that end, this research draws on an existing dataset to identify how different populations perceive different SETA methods. A quantitative analysis shows that users in different demographic groups have different SETA preferences, with age being the most impactful demographic. A qualitative analysis reveals further factors that impact user adoption of SETA, with cost and ease of use being important factors for further research.
