Computer Information Systems Transcript: A major issue facing information technology companies is that the user is the weakest link in protecting companies from data breaches. Hackers use phishing techniques to get usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal indefinable information to gain access to user and company devices and networks. How can we design a research study that proves an effective solution to the vulnerability of users towards these tactics?

1. Identify the research problem
2. Propose a hypothesis (educated guess) to solve the problem
3. Explain how your research methodology will allow you to test your hypothesis by detailing the experimental design aspect of your study. Ex: What are the independent and dependent variables within your study? How will your data allow you to prove your hypothesis?
4. Explain how you would collect the data
5. Finally, describe any conclusions you would draw or what further solutions may need to be explored
