Webinar: Human Factors in Cyber Security
On Tuesday, August 8th, 2017 discussed Human Factors in Cyber Security. The discourse surrounding human performance in cyber security remains a relevant topic; nevertheless, the scientific underpinning remains deficient. Human error is the primary contributing factor that leads to malicious activity in cyber security. Other domains such as aviation, healthcare, and nuclear power have capitalized on human factors to reduce accidents and to identify critical phases of operations; consequently, the cyber security sector trails behind the above-mentioned industries in leveraging human factors.
The aim of this presentation is leveraging organizational culture as a platform to address human factors in cyber security. The continuous integration of technology accompanied by (a) advanced persistent threats, (b) ransomware attacks, (c) data breaches, and (d) cyber-attacks increases and threatens the complexity of cyber security operations.
Included are examples of conceptual processes, models, and frameworks to influence cyber leaders and professionals to mandate the integration of human factors in cyber security.
