Cybersecurity Awareness-Measurement @ ZHAW (ZHCBS@ZHAW)
In this research project, we want to investigate how employees of organisations behave with regard to various domains of cyber security in their everyday work.
Description
Individual questionnaires on human cybersecurity behaviour have already been developed in science, but these are difficult to implement (e.g. too many questions, only a few forms of behaviour are recorded), do not specifically measure behaviour (e.g. the questions do not record human behaviour but factors that influence it), or deliver results that are not reliable from a business perspective (questions refer to outdated standards, only self-reported answer formats are used without taking their limited informative value into account).
We would therefore like to find out whether our newly developed measurement tool is practical and can reliably and holistically map the diverse human cybersecurity behaviour in organisations. If you participate, your answers will be used to determine the level of human cybersecurity behaviour in your organisation. This will be used to prioritise those domains of cybersecurity where the organisation still has the greatest potential and, accordingly, to better target the content of future training and campaigns and measures to improve cybersecurity at ZHAW.
