Kelly Sheridan.  2019.  Cognitive Bias Can Hamper Security Decisions. Dark Reading.

A report published by Forcepoint, titled Thinking About Thinking: Exploring Bias in Cybersecurity with Insights from Cognitive Science, highlights availability bias as one of the biases held by security and business teams. Availability bias occurs when a person lets the frequency with which they receive information influence their decisions. For example, if there are more headlines about nation-state attacks, such attacks may become a greater priority to major decision-makers in the development and spending surrounding cybersecurity solutions.
