Users perception of using CBMT for information security training

• It is well established that user behavior is a crucial aspect of information security and archivingsecure behavior through awareness and security training is the go-to solution proposed bypractitioners as well as the research community. Thus, there is a dire need for efficient trainingmethods for use in the security domain. This paper introduces ContextBased MicroTraining(CBMT), a framework for information security training that dictated that information securitytraining should be delivered to end users in short-sequences when the users are in a situationwhere the training is needed. Further, the users' perception of CBMT in evaluated in an onlinesurvey where about 200 respondents are subjected to training material and asked about how theyperceived them. The results show that users like the training material designed according to theCBMT framework and would prefer to use CBMT over other traditional methods of informationsecurity training.
