Behavioral Insights in Cybersecurity

Behavioral Insights in Cybersecurity: A Guide to Digital Human Factors, 1st Edition, examines the impact of human behavior on defense strategies across modern organizations. Written for cybersecurity professionals, technical leaders, and organizational strategists, this 2025 work from CRC Press focuses on understanding how individual and group decisions shape enterprise safety.

Industry evidence indicates that human error accounts for up to 95 percent of cybersecurity breaches. To explain why these operational vulnerabilities persist, the volume analyzes how cognitive biases, decision fatigue, personal stress, and organizational culture directly influence technical security performance. The text further addresses human susceptibility to social engineering tactics and insider threats.

Published within the Security, Audit and Leadership Series, this volume offers a structured framework for evaluating human actions inside modern technology environments. It provides practitioners and strategic planners with clear perspectives to analyze operational risk and strengthen defensive security initiatives.
