Recent Insights in Information Security Awareness Training: A Systematic Literature Review

With the human factor being identified as the weakest link in the chain of information security, we investigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on approaches to develop awareness trainings. Following the literature approach of vom Brocke, we identify five focus areas in recent literature which we are able to divide further into supporting effects and human factors for information security awareness trainings. Furthermore, we identify research gaps in current literature which can inspire future investigations.
