In this paper, researchers applied gamification techniques to the development of an Augmented Reality game, CybAR, which was designed to educate users about cybersecurity in an effective and entertaining way. This research incorporates decision-making style into...

The ‘human’ element of any digital system is as important to its enduring security posture. More research is needed to better understand human cybersecurity vulnerabilities within organizations. This will inform the development of methods (including those rooted in...

Since information security (InfoSec) incidents often involve human error, businesses are investing greater resources into improving staff awareness and compliance with best-practice InfoSec behaviours. This research examined whether employees who feel that they may be...

Cyber crime is rising at an unprecedented rate. Organisations are spending more than ever combating the human element through training and other interventions, such as simulated phishing. Organisations employ “carrots” (rewards) and “sticks” (sanctions) to reduce...

There has been an increasing prevalence of global cyber attacks. Because of the possible breaches in information security, it has become pertinent that organisations change organisational and individual cultures to become more secure. However, there are challenges...

There is a lack of consensus when using the term “cyberspace” [1]. Computers and network devices are prominent in definitions of cyberspace; less common is the essential and inclusion of human users. However, the human user is both implicitly integral to and actively...

Technological development towards automation has been taking place for years and a wide range of autonomous systems (AS) have been introduced in homes and retailing spaces. Although these AS seem to be riskless, if they are exploited they can endanger private...

A construct for intentional habit formation is suggested as possible mitigation to the disparity between user capability and systems requirements. The importance of usable security is well represented in early discussions (Sasse 2001). Twenty years after M. S....

While there are a variety of sophisticated system attacks, phishing emails continues to be successful in gaining users attention and leading to disastrous security consequences. In designing strategies to protect users from fraudulent phishing emails, system designers...

As cybersecurity (CS) threats become more sophisticated and diversified, organisations are urged to constantly adopt and update measures for contrasting different types of attacks. Particularly, as novel techniques (e.g., social engineering and phishing) are aimed at...

SMEs constitute a very large part of the economy in every country and they play an important role in economic growth and social development. SMEs are frequent targets of cybersecurity attacks similar to large enterprises. However, unlike large enterprises, SMEs mostly...

Social engineering cyberattacks are a major threat because they often prelude sophisticated and devastating cyberattacks. Social engineering cyberattacks are a kind of psychological attack that exploits weaknesses in human cognitive functions. Adequate defense against...

The research conducted for this project sought to understand the factors that impact the likelihood an individual will be victimized by a phishing attack. The research also sought to identify effective training approaches and technology available to supplement human...

This study purposed to examine the key human factors that impact on favourable cybersecurity culture in Kenyan SMEs premised in Nairobi City County and that provides enterprise wide Information Systems(IS) solutions. Primary data was collected through mail survey...

Installing security applications is a common way to protect against malicious apps, phishing emails, and other threats in mobile operating systems. While these applications can provide essential security protections, they also tend to access large amounts of people's...
