Significance of the Human Element in Cybersecurity

Renowned authority in human-technology interactions and Presidential appointee Prof. Missy Cummings of Duke University, spoke to the importance of understanding human motivation and behavior to proactively predict and detect deception. In a very candid and engaging conversation, Prof. Cummings expressed her concern about cybersecurity as a field not receiving the necessary scientific recognition and support. "Cybersecurity is not like changing the oil of your car, it is its own science," she said while discussing the various aspects of cybersecurity knowledge creation and dissemination. She also talks about her class on the Human Element in Cybersecurity and how she draws from various scientific knowledge bases (such as cognitive science, systems theory, game theory, and queuing theory) to provide a rich learning experience.
