The Efficacy of Security Awareness Programs from a Cross-Cultural Perspective
Abstract
Different cultures have different technological capabilities and, therefore, face a diverse set of security challenges. Increasing security awareness training can alert users to the existence of security vulnerabilities and threats. A user’s ability to understand these threats and vulnerabilities can empower them to take preventive and corrective actions in the event of such problems. This study proposes that users adopt situational awareness learning that is more receptive to high individualists than low individualists in their ability to increase their security awareness levels, which include comprehension, projection, and actions. We conducted an intercultural study to investigate if users from the U.S. and Taiwan exposed to the same situational awareness learning would have different performance in security awareness outcomes. Our findings confirmed that security awareness is cultural-ware learning, and our proposed situational awareness is a more useful learning approach to high individualists than low individualists.
