We divided the topic into 4 chapters and (I will be responsible for Chapter 3 only: Social Engineering Attacks ,please search for the chapter assigned to me and delve into the subheadings).
Chapter 1: Cybersecurity Threat Actors
- Overview of different types of threat actors in cybersecurity breaches
- Discussion of their motivations and goals
- Analysis of the role humans play as threat actors in cyber attacks
- Examination of case studies and examples of human involvement in cyber breaches
Chapter 2: Insider Threats
- Exploration of insider threats and their impact on cybersecurity
- Analysis of different types of insider threats (malicious insiders, negligent insiders, etc.)
- Examination of motivations and behavioral patterns of insider attackers
- Discussion of strategies to detect and prevent insider threats
Chapter 3: Social Engineering Attacks
- Analysis of social engineering techniques used in cybersecurity breaches
- Examination of psychological principles exploited in social engineering attacks
- Discussion of the role humans play as targets of social engineering attacks
- Examination of real-world examples and case studies of social engineering breaches
Chapter 4: Human Error and Negligence
- Evaluation of the role of human error and negligence in cybersecurity breaches
- Discussion of common mistakes and oversights made by users
- Analysis of the impact of human error on cybersecurity incidents
- Examination of strategies and best practices to mitigate human-related vulnerabilities
- Objective: The objective of this assignment is to collaboratively explore various aspects of the intersection between humans and cybersecurity and produce a joint paper. Each student will be responsible for writing one chapter of the paper, contributing their insights, analysis, and recommendations on a specific aspect of the chosen topic.
- Research and Analysis: Conduct thorough research on your assigned aspect of the topic, utilizing academic journals, books, reputable websites, and other relevant sources. Analyze the existing literature, identify key trends, challenges, and opportunities, and develop a coherent argument supported by evidence.
- APA Format: Ensure that your chapter adheres to APA (American Psychological Association) format guidelines for academic writing, including proper citation and referencing of sources. Failure to comply with APA guidelines may result in a deduction of points.
