终端用户的网络卫生通常在网络安全漏洞中扮演着重要角色。因此，我们需要更深入地了解与良好或不良卫生习惯相关的用户差异，并对用户如何促进良好卫生习惯（例如，使用防火墙和反病毒应用程序）有一个更新的看法。那些拥有良好网络卫生的个人遵循最佳安全实践并保护他们的个人信息。这项关于网络卫生知识和行为的探索性研究为设计师和研究人员提供了可以用来改善用户卫生习惯的信息。我们调查了268名参与者的概念知识、威胁知识以及与网络卫生相关的行为。此外，我们还询问了参与者之前的培训和经历。值得注意的是，参与者的年龄跨度很大，从18岁到55岁以上。我们解决了文献中的不一致之处，我们提供了有关行为和用户关于密码使用和网络钓鱼知识的最新信息，我们探索了年龄、性别、受害者历史、感知专业知识和网络卫生培训的影响。(c) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
End users' cyber hygiene often plays a large role in cybersecurity breaches. Therefore, we need a deeper understanding of the user differences that are associated with either good or bad hygiene and an updated perspective on what users do to promote good hygiene (e.g., employ firewall and anti-virus applications). Those individuals with good cyber hygiene follow best practices for security and protect their personal information. This exploratory study of cyber hygiene knowledge and behavior offers information that designers and researchers can employ to improve users' hygiene practices. We surveyed 268 participants about their knowledge of concepts, their knowledge of threats, and their behaviors related to cyber hygiene. Further, we asked participants about their previous training and experiences. Notably, the participants represent a large cross section from age 18 to 55+. We addressed inconsistencies in the literature, we provide up-to-date information on behaviors and on users' knowledge about password usage and phishing, and we explored the impact of age, gender, victim history, perceived expertise, and training on cyber hygiene.
