Abstract
It has been very evident from data breaches from last few years that attackers are increasingly targeting the path of least resistance to compromise the security of organizations. Cyber security threats that exploit human behavior are becoming sophisticated and difficult to prevent against. At the same time humans are the countermeasures that can adapt swiftly to changing risk landscape than technological and procedural countermeasures. Organizations are implementing and enhancing their security awareness and training programs in an attempt to ensure that risks from human elements, which pose the greatest risks, are mitigated. The chapter conducts a thorough literature review in the area of security awareness and training and presents a classification scheme and a conceptual research model to provide insights into the existing body of knowledge in the area. Trends and analyses are also presented from the reviewed papers, which can be of importance to organizations in improving their security awareness programs. The insights from the study can be leveraged to build a strong human wall against both internal and external threats that are fast evolving and causing tremendous amount of loss.
