Cybersecurity Policy Compliance: An Empirical Study of Jamaican Government Agencies

In addition to implementing technological tools, entities have adopted cybersecurity policies (CSPs) to address the rising number of employee related cybersecurity (CS) incidents.

Our goal is to prescribe activities that would maximize the amount learned as evaluated by expected post-test success. ...
