Shifting Engagement With Cybersecurity: How People Discover and Share Cybersecurity Content at Work and at Home

Cybersecurity awareness is shaped by a wide range of professional and personal experiences, including information and training at<br/>work and the sharing of news and other content at home. In order to explore how people discover cybersecurity content and the effect<br/>that participation in workplace training may have on this we present an online study of 1200 participants from the UK, US, France,<br/>and Germany. Those undertaking cybersecurity training at work showed reduced intention to share information at home, shifting the<br/>focus towards the workplace. They were also more likely to recall cybersecurity information shared by their employer than from<br/>any other source, which in turn correlated with content type and distribution channel. We critically reflect on this shift, highlighting<br/>opportunities to improve cybersecurity information sharing at work and at home.

Abstract

Cybersecurity awareness is shaped by a wide range of professional and personal experiences, including information and training at<br/>work and the sharing of news and other content at home. In order to explore how people discover cybersecurity content and the effect<br/>that participation in workplace training may have on this we present an online study of 1200 participants from the UK, US, France,<br/>and Germany. Those undertaking cybersecurity training at work showed reduced intention to share information at home, shifting the<br/>focus towards the workplace. They were also more likely to recall cybersecurity information shared by their employer than from<br/>any other source, which in turn correlated with content type and distribution channel. We critically reflect on this shift, highlighting<br/>opportunities to improve cybersecurity information sharing at work and at home.
