PAINLEsS - Personalized Multimodal Persuasive Ambient and Peripheral Interaction for Information Security

Violations against information security policies in organizations caused by employees are frequent and expensive. Classical countermeasures, such as security training and education, as well as awareness campaigns only have a limited and short-term effect on the employees´ information security policy attitudes and compliance. Additionally, they are time-consuming, expensive and don´t comply with employees hedonic needs. To promote a positive and long-lasting increase of Information security policy awareness and compliance we propose an innovative framework (PAINLEsS), which can be implemented in organizations and consists of sensors that detect violations against security policies and multimodal peripheral feedback, which educates users and raises awareness about/for secure behavior via personalized persuasive ambient strategies.
