Cybersecurity awareness is shaped by a wide range of professional and personal experiences, including information and training at work and the sharing of news and other content at home. In order to explore how people discover cybersecurity content and the effect that participation in workplace training may have on this we present an online study of 1200 participants from the UK, US, France, and Germany. Those undertaking cybersecurity training at work showed reduced intention to share information at home, shifting the focus towards the workplace. They were also more likely to recall cybersecurity information shared by their employer than from any other source, which in turn correlated with content type and distribution channel. We critically reflect on this shift, highlighting opportunities to improve cybersecurity information sharing at work and at home.
