Abstract An increasingly aging population, widespread internet connectivity, and an increasing number of cybersecurity incidents bring many challenges for the future information security. Older adults, in particular, are a highly vulnerable demographic, often targeted by cyber attackers. This paper aims to develop approach that enables identification different groups users systems according their requirements security training (ICST). To achieve this, we surveyed 784 older adults residing UK recruited through Prolific platform. First, S-HAIS-Q (Shortened Human Aspects Information Security Questionnaire) was used assess performance. Through hierarchical clustering k-means clustering, identified five distinct groups. Additionally, predictive trees (PCTs) were employed simultaneously perform classification, providing deeper insights into characteristics these provides segmentation framework highlighting potential customizing ICST address diverse needs adults. The results our study indicate it is possible tailor optimize even among who more proficient computer use than general adult population.
