Introduction

Survey on cybersecurity

Conclusion

OUTLINE

At present, the need of c yber security is essential as today's culture has

evolved into a true cyber society, with people relying on information and

communication technology in their daily lives.

In today's fast-paced society, mobile technologies in the information era

have the capability and advanced features of computers and

communication.

Contd...

Technology has become central and commonplace in everyone’s lives without their knowledge, and users are vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

Since the massive progress and growth of the i nformation technology industry has increased the technical needs in organisations and among their people, information security is seen as a concern in organisations and industries.

However, the reason for handling information security has proven to be a key concern for many organizations as issues related to security are prevalent due to easy access of information

When information securing technologies have struggled to secure organisations from cyber-attacks, the human factor of information security has been demonstrated in particular and its impact in cyber security is a existing concern as indicated and also human behaviour is presented as a risk factor.

Although there areextensive

The human element is also under constant attack, despite the accelerated growth and deployment of new t echnical technologies to address the increasing challenge to information security.

As a result, in order to create a comprehensive and statistical model that can determine cyber security risks, human behaviour factors must be highlighted in order to perceive the effect of customer, sponsor, and perpetrator activities on cyber security

According to many international reports most of the advanced cyber-attacks are frequently built on human vulnerabilities mainly human behaviour and hence role of humans cannot be ignored in a successful cyber security strategy.

Risky behaviour is also linked to the human actions of cyber security, where individuals would engage in an operation despite the fact that there was a known risk involved.

Therefore, Organizations must use behavioural experts to analyse data security activities from cognitive and bias perspectives and also should consider other behavioural aspects, in order to create an integrated approach to capitalised technologies, systems, and procedures to optimise security.

Theoretical models of the factors that influence an individual's behaviour towards security are shown below

Figure 1: Individual attitude towards security

Perceived vulnerability: It symbolizes a person's perception that heor she has been harmed in a way that may lead to an online assault

Perceived gravity: It reflects a person's reaction to the effects ofa computer crash.

Perceived benefits: It refers to the advantages that people seein embracing safety attitudes.

The battle against cybercrime and the avoidance of digital threats inside companies shifts the focus from technology to the human factors;

The Research on Individual behavior towards cyber security will become increasingly relevant.

Contd...

Thus, analyzing individual behavior towards cyber security can support organizations in their information security processes.

If a more comprehensive paradigm of how people want to participate in successful cyber security practices is built, tactics to spread these practices further have the potential to emerge.
