Overview

Human nature – easy prey for hackers?

Human behaviour is complex and inconsistent, making it a rich hunting ground for would-be hackers and a significant risk to the security of your organisation . An effective way to address this risk is to create a culture of security. Using the psychology of group behaviour and explaining how and why people follow social and cultural norms, the author highlights the underlying cause for many successful and easily preventable attacks.


“With this book, Kai Roer has taken his many years of cyber experience and provided those with a vested interest in cyber security a firm basis on which to build an effective cyber security training programme.”

- Dr. Jane LeClair, Chief Operating Officer National Cybersecurity Institute
