The Military Review of Social Cybersecurity highlights the critical role human behavior plays in cybersecurity threats and defenses. It shows how adversaries manipulate social structures and behaviors to exploit vulnerabilities, particularly through misinformation, phishing, and psychological operations.

One key takeaway is the use of social engineering tactics by actors with malicious intent. Instead of relying on technical weaknesses, actors switch their focus to human elements. To influence and deceive people into compromising security systems. This calls for awareness programs and training to help individuals recognize and resist manipulative tactics.

Another point is the importance of resilience in social cybersecurity. The importance of a strong digital literacy and critical thinking skills. This education will decrease the chances of falling victim to misinformation campaigns and fraudulent schemes. Even with having these skills are effective, along with firewall systems and encryption, the human factor must be addressed to make it sufficient. Responsibility comes from both sides, technology and humans.
