Employee Cyber-Security Awareness Training (CSAT) Programs in Ireland’s Financial Institutions

This paper presents work in progress to analyse the use and effectiveness of cyber-security awareness training (CSAT) programs adopted in Ireland’s financial institutions. The findings to date demonstrate that some Irish financial institutions provide CSAT programs for their employees, but their adoption and usage by employees and effectiveness remains unsure. We conclude that further research is required of CSAT and whether these programs alleviate cyber threats.
