Abstract

For security professionals, addressing the role of the human in cyber security is becoming ever more important as systems are technically increasingly secure and threat actors shift their focus towards exploiting human vulnerabilities. This paper looks at three ways that the role of humans in cyber security has been addressed and suggests integrating culture, behaviour and the design of security tools and policies to properly define the role of the human in protecting cyber security.
