The Human Factor - Psychological Insights into Cybersecurity Breaches and Defence.: Uncovering the Behavioural Patterns and Mental Strategies Behind C (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798339629221)

In an age where cyber threats grow more complex by the day, understanding the human factor has become just as important as mastering the technology that underpins cybersecurity. "The Human Factor: Psychological Insights into Cybersecurity Breaches and Defence" offers an in-depth exploration of how human behaviour, psychological vulnerabilities, and mental strategies influence both the perpetration of cyberattacks and the ability to defend against them.

Drawing from real-world case studies and contemporary research, this book unveils how cybercriminals exploit cognitive biases, emotional triggers, and organisational weaknesses to breach systems. It also examines the psychological methods and traits that security professionals need to build more resilient defences and respond effectively under pressure. Through a detailed analysis of social engineering, psychological warfare, and cyber deterrence, the book reveals the hidden battlefield where cyber conflicts are fought not only with technology but also with minds.

This book is essential reading for cybersecurity professionals, organisational leaders, and anyone seeking to understand the intersection of human psychology and cybersecurity strategy. From the manipulation tactics used by attackers to the mental resilience required by defenders, "The Human Factor" presents a fresh, human-centred approach to building stronger, smarter, and more psychologically aware cyber defences.
