Annotated Bibliography Topic: The Impact of Cybersecurity Awareness Training on Phishing Attacks in Healthcare Organizations
Cybersecurity continues to be important because organizations store large amounts of personal and sensitive information electronically. Instead of examining cybersecurity as a whole, my revised research will focus specifically on how employee cybersecurity awareness training can reduce phishing attacks in healthcare organizations. Healthcare organizations are an important area to study because employees regularly work with sensitive personal and health information, making cybersecurity practices an important part of protecting data. Phishing attacks can take advantage of employees who may not recognize suspicious emails, links, or requests for information. By focusing on employee training and phishing, I can examine specific strategies organizations can use to reduce human-related cybersecurity risks.
Research Questions:
How does cybersecurity awareness training affect the frequency of successful phishing attacks in healthcare organizations? How effective are gamified cybersecurity training programs compared with traditional training methods in helping healthcare employees recognize phishing attempts? What employee behaviors contribute most to successful phishing attacks in healthcare organizations? How does the frequency of cybersecurity awareness training affect employees’ ability to recognize and report phishing attempts? What challenges do healthcare organizations face when implementing cybersecurity training without interfering with employees’ daily responsibilities?
