Enhancing Phishing Intervention Strategies

Phishing attacks trick people by using social engineering techniques that exploit emotions or weaknesses, such as inattentiveness. Together with collaboration partners from the Swiss Cyber Defence Campus, we conduct research on human-centred cybersecurity solutions to create targeted interventions that support users against phishing.

Recognizing the diversity in individuals' motivations, knowledge, and strengths, we investigate the potential of personalized phishing training tailored to accommodate inter-individual differences. Additionally, to streamline the development and comparability of these interventions, we are constructing a framework that provides guidance on how the outcomes of phishing training can be evaluated.
