Human Psychological Factors Affecting Software Engineering Discipline from Cybersecurity Prospective

Abstract

Research into information security has long been an established subfield within the broader academic communities of computer science, software engineering, and information and communications technology. Over the past few years, “cyber security” has largely supplanted the older phrase “information security”. Cyber security refers to the protection of data and computer networks.This paper aims to demonstrate that studies in behavioral sciences focusing on user behavior, in addition to studies in computer science, can offer crucial techniques to help improve cyber security and mitigate the effects of social engineering and cognitive hacking (i.e., spreading false information) employed by cybercriminals. These techniques can help improve cyber security and enhance cyber safety. This will be completed by showing that behavioral sciences could give vital approaches that help in increasing cyber security and improving user behavior. This will be accomplished by demonstrating that behavioral sciences can offer critical strategies. Consequently, in this body of work, we investigate the most recent findings from research on the psychological characteristics and individual characteristics of computer system users that explain vulnerability to breaches in online security and criminal activity. We zero in on the elements responsible for susceptibility.
