Abstract
In the digital era, the role of non-technical users in ensuring cybersecurity has become increasingly critical. This research project delves into the multifaceted domain of enhancing cybersecurity awareness among individuals without technical backgrounds. The primary objective is to conduct a comprehensive study that evaluates the current state of cybersecurity awareness among non-technical users and proposes effective strategies for improvement. The study will adopt a mixed-methods approach, combining surveys, interviews, and behavioral observations to assess the existing level of cybersecurity awareness among the target demographic. Special attention will be given to understanding common misconceptions, areas of vulnerability, and the impact of individual behaviors on overall cybersecurity posture. Furthermore, the research will explore the efficacy of various educational interventions, including workshops, training modules, and awareness campaigns, in enhancing cybersecurity knowledge and practices among non-technical users. The project aims to identify the most effective methods for imparting cybersecurity concepts in an accessible and engaging manner. The anticipated outcome of this research is a set of evidence-based recommendations for organizations and educational institutions to design and implement tailored cybersecurity awareness programs. By bridging the gap between technical intricacies and everyday user experiences, this study seeks to contribute to a safer digital environment for all individuals, regardless of their technical expertise
