Visible to the public OODA Loops in Cyberspace: How Cyber Awareness Training Helps Threat Actors

Submitted by rzager on Fri, 09/07/2018 - 2:55pm. Contributors:

Cybersecurity's human adversarial engagement is often lost in discussions of cybersecurity. We discuss how defenders' focus on technology unintentionally creates vulnerabilities which can be exploited by threat actors. In particular, we discuss how the convergence of cyber awareness training and defensive technologies is exploited by threat actors with devastating consequences.

Visible to the public A Study on Situational Awareness Security and Privacy of Wearable Health Monitoring Devices

Submitted by xavierbellekens on Thu, 11/17/2016 - 5:45am

Situational Awareness provides a user centric approach to security and privacy. The human factor is often recognised as the weakest link in security, therefore situational perception and risk awareness play a leading role in the adoption and implementation of security mechanisms. In this study we assess the understanding of security and privacy of users in possession of wearable devices. The findings demonstrate privacy complacency, as the majority of users trust the application and the wearable device manufacturer.

Visible to the public Spearphishing Defense Through Improved Usability

Submitted by rzager on Fri, 08/14/2015 - 6:02pm. Contributors:

The information environment consists of three interrelated dimensions which are the physical, the informational and the cognitive. The most important of these is the cognitive dimension which encompasses the minds of people who interact with information and make decisions using information. Employing cyberspace operations, attackers use spearphishing to engage in espionage, sabotage and other intelligence-related activities. We discuss the use of an enhanced user interface as a means of counterintelligence to disrupt spearphishing attacks.
