Lt. Col. David M. Beskow and Dr. Kathleen M. Carley, in their article “Social Cybersecurity: An Emerging National Security Requirement” identify a dynamic intersection of social science and cybersecurity in its emerging realities. The authors say that cybersecurity threats are not just technical threats, but rather social issues at their core, with peculiarities of human behaviors and social networks being a critical aspect of both attacks and defenses. The authors call for a more ‘sociotechnical’ view of cybersecurity, urging social science research in a course on this overdue understanding in terms of how social networks trust, influence, and shape security. They emphasize the importance of cross-field approaches to responding to the evolving challenges and strengthening national security resilience.
