Development of a cyber security awareness strategy using focus group discussion
Focus group discussion is often used as an exploratory technique and serves as a source of data collection. It typically consists of a group of 5 to 10 participants led by a moderator. This work contributes to developing a cyber security master plan in Malaysia through focus group discussion. For this study, thirty two (32) participants took part in focus group discussions. The background of the participants varied from management, policy making, law enforcement and prosecution to the research and technical fields. The participants had a range of working experience. The target groups identified are kids, youths, adults and parents, and organizations (both public and private sectors) The overall results suggest that in order to achieve a successful cyber security awareness implementation strategy, three implementation layers are recommended: strategic, program execution and content development layers. The findings provide a holistic approach to developing a single common platform for cyber security awareness programs in Malaysia that encompasses various stakeholders.
