“…In contrast, resistance to cyber security measures can compromise the effectiveness of the security level ( Gcaza et al, 2017 ) and as such the psychological aspects should be considered in a true human centric cyber security design. Kraus et al (2017) show that there is a relationship between personality traits and information security. They investigated the psychological need fulfillment of humans as motivators for security and privacy actions, specifically with smartphone usage.…”

“…The diverse range of these users, all with different levels of cyber security awareness due to personal influences, demography and past experiences, as well as the user psychology and behavior toward cyber security risks are considered in the user component of cyber security. Usage components are mainly concerned with the functional aspects of technological and non-technological measures that are put in place to protect users against known security threats ( Kraus et al, 2017 ). It focuses on the intended use of a cyber security system and mechanisms such as antivirus programs, spam detection algorithms, password based authorizations, organizational policies and cyber security laws.…”

“…It presents an understanding of humans’ interaction with technology, and considers the interplay between the user and the product that they are using. It includes aspects of non-functional factors such as aesthetic and affective aspects of human computer interaction ( Kraus et al, 2017 ), as well as a further familiarity beyond traditional user experience where the user is immersed in the relevance and application of security.…”

“…These technologies offer the capability for effective detection and response to known attacks because they use blacklists or signatures of known attacks. However, the usefulness of such protection methods is often questioned ( Moon et al, 2015 ; Kraus et al, 2017 ). In mobile devices, the Android platform provides a permission system to inform users about the potential risks of installing an application.…”

“…Cyber security is no longer contained within organizational borders or home networks, but is present across borders, and reaching within the very basis of day to day life on an individual use level ( Holland, 2020 ). This constant process of trade-off brings forth a security dilemma, in that many security mechanisms are put in place, but not adhered to, or in some cases actively circumvented by users ( Kraus et al, 2017 ; Lebeck et al, 2018 ). It is from this security dilemma that the need for immersive security and a more in depth focus on human centric cyber security stems, necessitating a paradigm shift from functional and usage centred cyber security, to user centred cyber security.…”

The effectiveness of cyber security measures are often questioned in the wake of hard hitting security events. Despite much work being done in the field of cyber security, most of the focus seems to be concentrated on system usage. In this paper, we survey advancements made in the development and design of the human centric cyber security domain. We explore the increasing complexity of cyber security with a wider perspective, defining user, usage and usability (3U’s) as three essential components for cyber security consideration, and classify developmental efforts through existing research works based on the human centric security design, implementation and deployment of these components. Particularly, the focus is on studies that specifically illustrate the shift in paradigm from functional and usage centred cyber security, to user centred cyber security by considering the human aspects of users. The aim of this survey is to provide both users and system designers with insights into the workings and applications of human centric cyber security.

Millions of users all over the world nowadays spend many hours daily using social networks on a range of devices (desktop, tablet, mobile), in many languages and countries, under very different systems of governance, and in wide-ranging social, religious, cultural and political environments. But the same software (System Services, Operating Systems "OSes", Hypervisors, Applications and Utilities) is still called upon to function in contexts defined by these vast differences in terms of quality, reliability, efficiency and security. All domestic appliances, contemporary cars and almost everything powered by electricity is now equipped with at least a rudimentary interface and ready-to-run software. Electronic transactions are now routine and there is a huge need for online security and privacy. Bring your own device (BYOD) is a trend that is appearing even in SMBs (Small and Midsize Business) with aspects, policy considerations, security models and traps. The success off all the above depends on User eXperience where the user intersects with the product (software). In this paper, we analyse the different approaches taken under the concept of User eXperience (UX) in tandem with the development of contemporary software, and examine their ramifications for the level of security and privacy. We will show that UX is a different concept from usability, examine the different academic approaches and their underlying viewpoints, and show how the tasks in question relate to security. We believe that the interface between UX and security is a demanding area which requires research in multiple dimensions. The need for designing and developing contemporary software which is smart, user-friendly, adaptive, secure and capable of protecting every type of user is immense.

Reconceptualizing cybersecurity awareness capability in the data-driven digital economy

et al. 2022

Data breaches have become a formidable challenge for business operations in the twenty-first century. The emergence of big data in the ever-growing digital economy has created the necessity to secure critical organizational information. The lack of cybersecurity awareness exposes organizations to potential cyber threats. Thus, this research aims to identify the various dimensions of cybersecurity awareness capabilities. Drawing on the dynamic capabilities framework, the findings of the study show personnel (knowledge, attitude and learning), management (training, culture and strategic orientation) and infrastructure capabilities (technology and data governance) as thematic dimensions to tackle cybersecurity awareness challenges.
