Leveraging Human Behavior to Reduce Cyber Risk Project
The Leveraging Human Behavior to Reduce Cyber Security Risk research project brings a behavioral sciences lens to security, examining the interface between human beings and computers through a set of rigorous empirical studies. Multi-disciplinary in design, the project draws together social scientists and information security professionals to illuminate the intricacies of human perceptions, cognitions, and biases, and how these impact computer security. Investigating how people interface in the security realm, this research specifically looks at how social science approaches can help us design more secure systems and processes. Funded by the Department of Homeland Security.
