Connecting delayed pre-commitment with cyber awareness in order to address the perception gap and present bias.

The project is funded by the Home Office and addresses the challenges of protecting small businesses and charities against cyber-crime.
There are some simple actions that organizations can take to dramatically reduce the damage from a cyber attack. These include the use of two-factor authentication and staff awareness of mandate or invoice fraud. With this in mind, our project has two main aims: First, to explore the barriers that small organizations face in adopting cyber best practice. Second to test an intervention designed to increase the likelihood of organizations adopting best practice.
