Abstract

We have collected phishing susceptibility data from a subsample of NSA analysts/personnel (n=12).Subsequent data analysis is underway to assess whether the student sample data generalizes to other user populations. We have met with members of the NCSU IT group to assess the current state of antiphishing training being employed for campus users. These discussions suggest that there may be a future opportunity to collaborate with this group and possibly engage in archival data analysis regarding past phishing instances at NCSU. We are designing a second study that will use participatory design with at-risk users to develop an anti-phishing tool. We have completed the design of the study as a 2 x3 Mixed factorial design with the before/after (2) training manipulation as a within subjects variable and the training content (3) as a between subjects variable. We are currently evaluating the content of the training conditions.
