The Human factor in cybersecurity

            I read two articles that discussed how impactful people can be in the field of cyber security. They taught me why we have these cybersecurity issues and how these attacks formulate in a similar pattern. If I’m leading a team, I need to know that I can trust everyone. I would manage my budget to where I can focus more on the training methods to build my team and eventually work my way to increase my technology supply. If I start with 100,000 dollars, I will put 40% investment on training, 30% in increasing my technology supply, and the rest of the 30% will cover the companies building finance. I think it’s important to know whom you can trust to perform these tasks. Capone’s impact on human behaviors on security gave me a general idea of why I would consider increasing training. He said most issues usually start with people and since we are Implementing security and sharing secrete information, we don’t want the wrong person with it. There are also psychological problems where a person knows how to psychologically trick a worker into sharing information. It is important to know that a hacker’s motive doesn’t just happen overnight it can be a whole operation that can take days to configure. Looking for unusual signs is key to determining the path of a hacker. Capone also explained that data breaches can be inadvertently or accidentally and it’s hard to determine that sometimes because people do make mistakes. Once I find a team, I can trust I can make sure to increase my technology supplier down the course and build my company with more creative methods to slow down these attacks in the feature.
