In deze publicatie, met als subtitel 'de kracht van verbinding', wordt ingegaan op de onderzoekslijnen en -thema's die vanuit het lectoraat voor de komende jaren zijn vastgesteld, de lopende onderzoeken en de plannen die worden ontwikkeld. Deze aspecten staan centraal in hoofdstuk 2. Daarna wordt in hoofdstuk 3 dieper ingegaan op de invulling van deze plannen en de uitdagingen die daarbij spelen. Dit gebeurt in samenwerking met collega's van binnen en buiten het lectoraat, de onderzoeksgroep, studenten en het werkveld. Het is de overtuiging dat de problemen en uitdagingen op het gebied van digitalisering en veiligheid alleen adequaat kunnen worden aangepakt door middel van goede samenwerking, waarbij verschillende disciplines worden betrokken. Daarom wordt de nadruk gelegd op 'de kracht van verbinding'.
In general, people are poorly protected against cyberthreats, with the main reason being user behaviour. For the study described in this paper, a ques-tionnaire was developed in order to understand how people’s knowledge of and attitude towards both cyberthreats and cyber security controls affect in-tention to adopt cybersecure behaviour. The study divides attitude into a cog-nitive and an affective component. Although only the cognitive component of attitude is usually studied, the results from a questionnaire of 300 respond-ents show that both the affective and cognitive components of attitude have a clearly positive, albeit varying, influence on behavioural intention, with the affective component having an even greater effect on attitude than the cog-nitive aspect. No correlation was found between knowledge and behavioural intention. The results indicate that attitude is an important factor to include when developing behavioural interventions, but also that different kinds of attitude should be addressed differently in interventions.
