The "human agent" is at the center of all security research. Some people refer to human agents or users as the "weakest link in the security chain". It is true that user behavior plays a part in many security failures. This introductory/intermediate course in the human aspects of cyber security will provide an overview of HCI related sciences and technology within the growing field of cyber security. In addition to learning about cyber security, participants will also learn how to manage and monitor their own online activities, security, and protect themselves from cyber attacks.
