Abstract
Described embodiments include a system that includes a monitoring agent, configured to automatically monitor usage of a computing device by a user, and a processor. The processor is configured to compute, based on the monitoring, a score indicative of a cyber-security awareness of the user, and to generate an output indicative of the score.
Claims15
A system, comprising:
- a monitoring agent, configured to automatically monitor usage of a computing device by a user;
- and
- a processor, configured:
- to receive an input that includes a type of cyber-security attack,
- to compute a characteristic vector of coefficients, each of which quantifies competence of the user in a different one of a plurality of cyber-security areas based on the monitored usage of the computing device by the user;
- to compute, based on the monitoring, a score indicative of a cyber-security awareness of the user with respect to the type of attack, wherein the score is computed based on the characteristic vector of coefficients and respective weightings of each of the coefficients with respect to type of attack, wherein each of the respective weightings quantifies importance of a corresponding coefficient and a corresponding cyber-security area for the type of attack;
- and
- to generate an output indicative of the score.
