Psybersecurity: Human Factors of Cyber Defence is a clarion call to
action in the face of a stark reality: over 90% of cyberattacks
exploit human vulnerabilities, as highlighted by the 2022 Global Risks
Report from the World Economic Forum. This gap between the rapid
advancement of cyber security technologies and the slower pace of
development in human-centric defences poses a formidable challenge to
national security and personal safety. Amidst the dazzling progress of
AI technologies like ChatGPT and Microsoft Security Co-Pilot, the
human element of cyber security remains critically underdeveloped. Set
against the backdrop of the Australian government's ambitious goal to
become the world's most cybersecure nation by 2030, this book embarks
on a mission to address the overlooked human factors in cyber defence.
It advocates for a balanced approach that not only relies on
technological advancements but also significantly enhances the human
aspects of cyber security. Through an interdisciplinary exploration,
Psybersecurity delves into how cyberthreats exploit human
vulnerabilities and offers innovative solutions for building
resilience against these vulnerabilities. It examines the necessity
for cyber security strategies that encompass psychological insights,
systemic resilience, and the mitigation of human errors, particularly
within critical infrastructures and cyber-physical systems (CPS).
Furthermore, this work critiques existing cyber security education
frameworks, proposing a comprehensive curriculum that equips
individuals with technical skills and the behavioural competencies
needed to navigate the cyber landscape ethically and effectively. It
also addresses AI's ethical dilemmas and psychological impacts,
offering a forward-looking perspective on combating AI-driven
harassment and endorsing a new field of study: "Psybersecurity."
Psybersecurity: Human Factors of Cyber Defence aims to bridge the gap
between cyber security and human sciences, ignite a transformation in
understanding, and fortify our digital world. It is an essential read
for academics, professionals, and anyone committed to building a
safer, more resilient cyber future in alignment with Australia's 2030
vision.
