Human, Economic, and Organisational Aspects of Cyber Security

Human, Economic, and Organisational Aspects of Cyber Security

Our work on the Human, Economic and Organisational Aspects of Cyber Security covers a wide range of diverse topics, including:

  • The economics of security, including the value of security at both a macro level and to individuals

  • How organisations decide how much to invest in security, and on what?

  • The role of people’s habits in determining both positive security behaviours, and insecure behaviours

  • Aspects of security at different points in the life span, including young people and the security and privacy of financial transactions, and older adults and scams

  • Organisational culture and security, and security awareness campaigns

  • Trust cues and security

  • Building a secure and resilient UK through inter-disciplinary research and innovation
