Systematically Improving Cybersecurity Training

About this episode

Julia Prümmer discusses how to effectively change cybersecurity behavior through training and psychological insights.

How do we change cybersecurity behaviour rather than simply improve awareness? In this episode, Julia Prümmer joins Cybercrimeology to discuss cybersecurity training through the lens of psychology, systematic reviews, and behavioural theory. The conversation examines why many training programmes improve knowledge and attitudes but struggle to produce sustained behavioural change, and how differentiating between types of cybersecurity behaviour may lead to more effective interventions.
