Quantitative Analysis of the Key Factors Driving Cybersecurity Awareness Among Information Systems Users

Abstract: Cybersecurity threats are increasingly complex and widespread, posing significant risks to individuals and organizations. However, many studies tend to address the technological or behavioral aspects separately. The study uses a survey-based quantitative approach using PLS-SEM to analyze key factors that influence cybersecurity awareness, including demographics, training, psychological bias, and organizational culture. The findings suggest that several constructs-such as threat awareness, perceived risk, and education-significantly predict cybersecurity awareness and behaviour. Notably, the model yields an R² value of up to 0.703 with a strong path significance (p < 0.05), which underscores the robustness of the relationship. This study offers an integrated perspective on cybersecurity by bridging the psychological, educational, and organizational dimensions. It highlights cybersecurity awareness as a mediating construct that links upstream factors to secure user behavior-a relational structure that has not been explored in previous research.
