Cyber security incidents are often attributed to "human error". The discipline of human factors recognises the importance of identifying organisational root causes, rather than focusing on individual actions or behaviours. Humans and Cyber Security: How Organisations Can Enhance Resilience Through Human Factors delivers an applied approach to capturing and mitigating the risk of the human element in cyber security and proposes that it is easier to change organisational practices than it is individual behaviour.
This book identifies undesirable behaviours and practices, then analyses why they occur, and finally, offers mitigating actions. Models of behavioural motivations will be discussed alongside individual vulnerabilities. Organisational vulnerabilities will form the main focus of an applied approach to capturing and mitigating the risk of the human element in cyber security. It concludes with recommended processes that involve talking to a range of individuals across the organization. Backed up with practical materials to facilitate data collection, applied examples and mitigating strategies to address known human vulnerabilities, this book offers the reader a complete view of understanding and preventing cyber security breaches.
The solutions in this book will appeal to students and professionals of human factors, security, informational technology, human resources and business management.
