The Research Problem

The Paradox

Organizations invest billions in cybersecurity training annually, yet major breaches continue to impact well-trained workforces. This disconnect between investment and outcomes demands rigorous academic investigation.

The Gap

Current cybersecurity training effectiveness is dominated by vendor case studies and anecdotal evidence. Academic research applying proven educational frameworks is critically needed.

The Opportunity

By identifying evidence-based practices that actually change behavior and reduce risk, we can help organizations optimize their security training investments and outcomes.

Key Research Questions

ROI Measurement

How do large enterprises measure training ROI beyond compliance checkboxes and completion rates?

Implementation Strategies

What implementation strategies predict successful behavior change at enterprise scale?

Risk Correlation

Which training approaches correlate with actual risk reduction versus incident frequency?

Cost Effectiveness

Why do organizations spending $50K+ per employee often see worse outcomes than focused programs under $10K?
