About this ebook
Human Factors and Cybersecurity: The Psychology of Online Safety and Security (co-authored by Lee Hadlington and Chloe Ryding) examines how human behavior, choices, and psychological vulnerabilities interact with digital security systems. [1]
The book moves past purely technical solutions to analyze the "human firewall" through research-backed insights and organizational frameworks. [1, 2]
Core Topics Covered
  • Foundations of Cyberpsychology: Introduction to the interplay between digital infrastructure and human behaviour. [1]
  • Psychological, Dispositional, and Situational Factors: How individual personality traits, emotional states, and environments alter security practices. [1, 2, 3]
  • Insider Threats: Analysis of both intentional (malicious, disgruntled, or financially motivated) and unintentional (accidental, careless) insider activities. [1, 2]
  • Cognitive Pitfalls and Decision-Making: Exploration of the cognitive biases, mental fatigue, and heuristic traps that lead to user error. [1, 2]
  • Strategies for Reducing Human Error: Practical tools, policies, and designs structured to reduce the frequency of user mistakes. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  • Human-Centered Security Design: Shifting systemic infrastructure away from blame and toward systems built around how humans naturally act. [1, 2]
  • Individual and Organizational Resilience: Practical guidance and mitigation plans for improving cybersecurity readiness across personal and professional environments. [1]
  • Real-World Case Studies: Examination of actual data breaches and cyber incidents to illustrate the consequences of unaddressed human vulnerabilities
