Changing Landscape of Cybersecurity
The field of cybersecurity is evolving rapidly, with a growing emphasis on understanding the human behavior of attackers. Traditional defenses often focus on technological barriers but fail to address the psychological tactics employed by cybercriminals. By analyzing the behaviors and vulnerabilities of these attackers, defenses can be tailored more effectively, ensuring that organizations are not merely relying on off-the-shelf software solutions. This approach underscores the need for a shift towards behaviorally-based responses that adapt to the dynamic nature of cyber threats.
