Abstract
This study presents Penny, a virtual assistant that monitors various parameters and conditions of the user’s machine and notifies them in case it senses a potential vulnerability. Penny also provides the user with information on the possible ways of eliminating or avoiding the vulnerability. The purpose of the study is to find out how specific types of security-related communication with end-users by a virtual assistant like Penny can positively affect users’ security-related behaviors.
