Book Description
Emerging Cyber Threats and Cognitive Vulnerabilities identifies the critical role human behavior plays in cybersecurity and provides insights into how human decision-making can help address rising volumes of cyberthreats. The book examines the role of psychology in cybersecurity by addressing each actor involved in the process: hackers,targets,cybersecurity practitioners and the wider social context in which these groups operate. It applies psychological factors such as motivations,group processes and decision-making heuristics that may lead individuals to underestimate risk. The goal of this understanding is to more quickly identify threat and create early education and prevention strategies.
This book covers a variety of topics and addresses different challenges in response to changes in the ways in to study various areas of decision-making,behavior,artificial intelligence,and human interaction in relation to cybersecurity.
– Explains psychological factors inherent in machine learning and artificial intelligence
– Discusses the social psychology of online radicalism and terrorist recruitment
– Examines the motivation and decision-making of hackers and ‘hacktivists’
