Overview
Recently, humans have become regarded as the weakest point in securing an organisation from cyber threats. As a significant threat, social engineering is a common technique employed by cyber criminals. It uses deception to manipulate people into divulging information or taking action that can be exploited by cyber attackers for nefarious purposes. Cyber security requires leaders from all backgrounds (particularly those without an IT background) to understand the global cyber security landscape, the role of people in cyber security, and what human behaviour theory and research can tell us about what motivates people to behave the way they do in the cyber security context. Understanding the threat, why it is so effective, and how it can be mitigated is critical to reducing and managing risk.
