This project aims to evaluate the cybersecurity awareness and readiness of organizations and their employees when they switch from on-site to remote work. Furthermore, this project aims to provide valuable insights that can help organizations and individuals take proactive steps to protect themselves and their employees from cybersecurity threats by identifying knowledge gaps, assessing employee behavior, evaluating security policies, identifying areas for improvement, and promoting best practices.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-793 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ngn\/wp-content\/uploads\/WFA.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"519\" height=\"402\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ngn\/wp-content\/uploads\/WFA.png 519w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ngn\/wp-content\/uploads\/WFA-240x186.png 240w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ngn\/wp-content\/uploads\/WFA-400x310.png 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ngn\/wp-content\/uploads\/WFA-160x124.png 160w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/ngn\/wp-content\/uploads\/WFA-360x279.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mohammed Mahyoub, Ashraf Matrawy, Kamal Isleem, and Olakunle Ibitoye, (2023).\u00a0 Cybersecurity Challenge Analysis of Work-from-Anywhere (WFA) and Recommendations guided by a User Study.
