Abstract
Addressing human factors in cybersecurity is essential due to the prevalent exploitation of human errors and behaviors by attackers. This approach involves continuous education and engaging training programs tailored to various roles, emphasizing interactive and personalized learning. Implementing strong security policies with clear guidelines and simplified procedures, backed by regular audits and enforcement, enhances compliance. Technological solutions such as automation, user-friendly security tools, and behavioral analytics play a critical role in reducing human errors and detecting anomalies. Cultivating a security-conscious culture, with leadership commitment and encouraging non-punitive incident reporting, fosters proactive security practices. Limiting the attack surface through different principles minimizes vulnerabilities. Enhancing incident response capabilities ensures effective handling and mitigation of security breaches. This holistic approach integrates education, policy, technology, and culture to strengthen organizational resilience against cybersecurity threats.
