Exploring the Role of Service Personnels’ Key Relationships in Military Cyber Resilience

When creating an organisation with a strong Cybersecurity Culture, a consideration of individuals’ awareness, attitudes and values are key to building a workforce that is resilient to cyber-attacks. Military organisations and the extended military community share characteristics with civilian populations but have additional unique attributes that influence individual attitudes and values. Whilst research into Cybersecurity Culture in military settings has focused on employee behaviours, there is limited existing literature that considers the role of the extended community, including military personnel’s close friends and relatives. This research aims to investigate the extent military personnel’s Key Relations contribute to military cyber resilience through their online behaviours.
