Handbook

This course covers a comprehensive approach to protecting and securing digital information and systems by focusing on the human component of the security equation. The course introduces theoretical and practical aspects of behavioural analysis in cyber security, including an analysis of business models and criminological theories designed to modify behaviour and exploit human factors. Students learn human behaviour as it relates to cyber security, especially the mental states of hackers and defenders. Students also learn the personality characteristics of victims, attackers and defenders, and with this knowledge, how policies, procedures and standards can be developed to reinforce an organisation's sustainability objectives.
