Cybersecurity and Privacy for Humans

Assistant Professor Peter Mayer, IMADA, SDU

Abstract

Technology is often seen as the strong and humans as the weak link in the cybersecurity chain. In this talk, we will explore why this is an outdated view on cybersecurity issues and outline how technology can be the root cause of these issues, along with examples from email security and authentication. We will then explore a few instances in which the insights from existing research have been applied to design cybersecurity and privacy solutions that work well along individuals’ mental models and within their workflows.
