OUTLINE
Introduction
Survey on cybersecurity 
 Conclusion
At present, the need of c yber security is essential as today's culture has 
 evolved into a true cyber society, with people relying on information and  
communication technology in their daily lives.
In today's fast-paced society, mobile technologies in the information era  
have the capability and advanced features of computers and  
communication.
Contd...
Technology has become central and commonplace in everyone’s lives without  
their knowledge, and users are vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
Since the massive progress and growth of the i nformation technology industry  
has increased the technical needs in organisations and among their people,  
information security is seen as a concern in organisations and industries.
However, the reason for handling information security has proven to be a key  
concern for many organizations as issues related to security are prevalent due  to 
easy access of information
Contd...
When information securing technologies have struggled to secure  
organisations from cyber-attacks, the human factor of information  
security has been demonstrated in particular and its impact in cyber  
security is a existing concern as indicated and also human behaviour  
is presented as a risk factor.
Although there are  literatureson
i nformationsecuriteyx, tensmivoest of the
researches have focused security  on the
aspects of information management technical
neglecting the human behaviour factor. systems,
Contd...
The human element is also under constant attack, despite the  
accelerated growth and deployment of new t echnical technologies to  
address the increasing challenge to information security.
As a result, in order to create a comprehensive and statistical model  
that can determine cyber security risks, human behaviour factors  
must be highlighted in order to perceive the effect of customer,  
sponsor, and perpetrator activities on cyber security
Contd...
According to many international reports most of the  
advanced cyber-attacks are frequently built on  
human vulnerabilities mainly human behaviour and  
hence role of humans cannot be ignored in a  
successful cyber security strategy.
However,  human behaviour is inconsistent, 
according  to research, and   may be
motivated  by relationships; there heavily  is
widespread conviction that negative athlsinogsa
happen to othoenrl ypeople.
Contd...
Risky behaviour is also linked to the human actions of cyber security, where  
individuals would engage in an operation despite the fact that there was a known  
risk involved.
Therefore, Organizations must use behavioural experts to analyse data security  
activities from cognitive and bias perspectives and also should consider other  
behavioural aspects, in order to create an integrated approach to capitalised  
technologies, systems, and procedures to optimise security.
Theoretical models of the factors that influence an individual's behaviour towards  
security are shown below
Contd...
Figure 1: Individual attitude towards security
Perceived vulnerability: It symbolizes a person's perception that he
or  she has been harmed in a way that may lead to an online assault
Perceived gravity: It reflects a person's reaction to the effects of
a  computer crash.
Perceived benefits: It refers to the advantages that people see
in  embracing safety attitudes.
The battle against cybercrime and the avoidance of  
digital threats inside companies shifts the focus from 
 technology to the human factors;
 The Research on Individual behavior towards 
cyber  security will become increasingly relevant.
Contd...
Thus, analyzing individual behavior towards cyber security can support  
organizations in their information security processes.
If a more comprehensive paradigm of how people want to participate in  
successful cyber security practices is built, tactics to spread these practices  
further have the potential to emerge.
