The human factor in cybersecurity has become the primary way for hackers to establish a foothold within critical infrastructure. The broad impact of these attacks is not only financial and reputational, but also social, and psychological.
In our whitepaper Dr. Maria Bada talks about how organizations can enhance employees’ resilience and identify key cybersecurity behaviors while establishing a holistic cybersecurity culture.
The realization that the person is at risk.
The expectation that behavior change will reduce this risk.
The expectation the person is capable enough to adopt preventive behavior or refrain from risky behavior.
