Overview

As the digital world expands and cyber threats grow more sophisticated, the need for insights from diverse disciplines becomes crucial. Following on from the editor's 2023 title New Perspectives in Behavioral Cybersecurity I, this book presents studies covering a wide range of the latest topics in cybersecurity -- from hybrid intelligence in banking security to the connection between physical and cybersecurity attitudes. This volume introduces innovative perspectives from countries as varied as Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, and the Philippines, among others, reflecting the global nature of cyber challenges. New Approaches in Behavioral Cybersecurity II: Human Behavior for Business, Profiling, Linguistics, and Voting brings together international perspectives that explore how human behavior intersects with cybersecurity. The chapters highlight the integration of behavioral sciences such as psychology, economics, and sociology with traditional cybersecurity approaches. Contributors examine linguistic differences in cyberattacks, explore the impact of personality on hacking behavior, and provide insights into ethical practices in the digital age. The reader will be able to take a different and international look at the complex and evolving world of cybersecurity. An ideal read for cybersecurity professionals, human factors practitioners, academics, and students, this book will help readers broaden their understanding of how human behavior influences cyber defenses.

“This new volume of New Perspectives in Behavioral Cybersecurity continues in the footsteps of its predecessor by addressing an important aspect of cybersecurity that’s often underrepresented—the human factor. Technical cybersecurity, the arena where complex malware is reverse-engineered and sophisticated monitoring systems thwart cyber attacks, is crucially important. But human factors, which don’t get as much airplay, are equally critical in defending computer systems, because most costs related to cyber attacks are the direct result of human error.” -- Golden George Richard III, Professor of Computer Science, Louisiana State University
