CHI 2023 Opening Keynote – Eva Wolfangel "The Human Element in Cybercrime and Cybersecurity"
6The Human Element in Cybercrime and Cybersecurity
by Eva Wolfangel
ABSTRACT
I met criminal hackers and social engineering pentesters and many more in order to understand why we are so vulnerable to cyberattacks - and the most important thing I have learned from these encounters is: Computer science as well as the security industry are far from understanding the human factor in security properly. The concept of usable security falls short, human centered security is the way to go. But this is not easy. Human centered security should not stop at understanding the objects of the attack - only if we understand the mindset of the attackers and their motivation, we can develop effective defenses.
