Cyber 2016 - 2nd International Conference on Human Factors in Cybersecurity

Our daily life, economic vitality, and national security depend on a stable, safe, and resilient cyberspace. We rely on this vast array of networks to communicate and travel, power our homes, run our economy, and provide government services. Yet, cyber intrusions and attacks have increased dramatically over the last decade, exposing sensitive personal and business information, disrupting critical operations, and imposing high costs on the economy.
The human factor at the core of cybersecurity provides greater insight into this issue and highlights human error and awareness as key factors, in addition to technical lapses, as the areas of greatest concern.
The AHFE International Conference on Human Factors in Cybersecurity will also focus on the social, economic and behavioral aspects of cyberspace, which are largely missing from the general discourse on cybersecurity. The human element at the core of cybersecurity is what makes cyberspace the complex, adaptive system that it is.
An inclusive, multi-disciplinary, holistic approach that combines the technical and behavioral element is needed to enhance cybersecurity. Human factors also pervades the top cyber threats. Personnel management and cyber awareness are essential for achieving holistic cybersecurity.
