Hacking the Human Mind: Psychological Resilience Against Social Engineering
In the rapidly evolving digital age, organisations face significant risks from cyber-attacks, particularly those exploiting human vulnerabilities through social engineering. This paper explores the psychological dynamics in human factors that influence susceptibility to social engineering attacks, especially within the context of the increased digital transformation. By analysing existing cybersecurity frameworks, it identifies crucial gaps in current practices and introduces a novel, human-centric approach to cybersecurity. This framework incorporates behavioural science principles, human factor capability assessments, and adaptive training methodologies to enhance organisational resilience against social engineering threats. The research observation underscore the pressing need for psychological dynamics in human-centric strategies to mitigate the risks posed by social engineering attacks effectively.
