Abstract: Recent years have shown that the expansion of digitalisation implies an extension of what needs to be protected. While businesses invest in technology to protect against cyber-attacks, one of the top vulnerabilities remains the human element. This questions the centrality of the human role, something which often pertains cybersecurity policy, awareness, and training. Thus, it is imperative to understand if such approaches remain good strategies in protecting an organisation’s information, assets, and people. To portray the current state, this paper takes into account prior developments in the study of Security Awareness and in addition, it explores the relevance of Cybersecurity Culture. Accordingly, the proposed approach aspires to delve into the value proposition of combining the two. The research determines that attaining organisational resilience differs on how employees perceive formal (awareness and cybersecurity policy) and informal rules (i.e., culture). Further research is required to determine the long-term effects in enriching Cybersecurity Awareness in context of Cybersecurity Culture.
