Exploring the Relationship between User Knowledge, Attitude and Behavior in a Federal Agency
Description
The problem that will be addressed in this study is the that it is not known if and to what extent a relationship exists between knowledge of security policy and attitude towards cybersecurity, between attitude towards cybersecurity and behavior compliance, and between knowledge of security policy and behavior compliance (Li, et al, 2019; Barlow & Levy Bencheton, 2018). More research is needed to better understand the human user as the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain.
