Abstract

This study uses action research methods at a large US healthcare facility. Based on self-regulation theory, we created a new security education training and awareness (SETA) program that is focused on three threats: phishing, unauthorized use of cloud services, and password sharing. The new SETA program was shown to be more effective than the existing SETA program. Findings also indicate that the training was effective at helping users to identify and avoid all three threats to the environment. Future research directions based on this study are also discussed.
