For this article review, I chose an article from the Journal of Cybersecurity. The title of the article is, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDevelopment of a new \u2018human cyber-resilience scale\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this article, the author explains what happens after an individual has been attacked by a hacker. Did the <\/p>\n\n\n\n
individuals have support while their cyber attack was happening? How did the attackers feel afterwards? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did it change their perspectives of what they could have done differently? Did it make the individuals <\/p>\n\n\n\n
aware of their surroundings? All of these questions were answered in this article.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When someone gets hacked, they are stressed out. They are trying to remain calm and positive but it is <\/p>\n\n\n\n
impossible when the clock is ticking and there are no results. These cyber attacks take weeks, even <\/p>\n\n\n\n
months to figure out. Most companies are starting to focus development on cyber-resilience frameworks <\/p>\n\n\n\n
(CRFs) .This framework is supposed to help an organization resist cyber attacks and recover swiftly from <\/p>\n\n\n\n
an incident. They call it the wave analogy. This disruption is the main focus to help identify factors before <\/p>\n\n\n\n
and after an event that can help mitigate or exacerbate the disruption. Some of the ways that <\/p>\n\n\n\n
organizations can reduce cyber attacks were situational awareness, good governance, and good security <\/p>\n\n\n\n
posture. The ways that they can have a swift recovery are ability to adapt, company\u2019s market strength, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
financial position, and social capital.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When COVID-19 happened, households and individuals became easy targets. This happened because <\/p>\n\n\n\n
everyone was teleworking. That means that individuals were using their home wifi or public wifi. Hackers <\/p>\n\n\n\n
knew that everyone became vulnerable. Most of the victims that were targeted were less than 60 years <\/p>\n\n\n\n
old. With individuals teleworking, they were constantly using the same password, which made them an <\/p>\n\n\n\n
easy target. As you would think that teleworking individuals would have good hygiene such as proper <\/p>\n\n\n\n
password protection, making regular updates to their networks, backup regularly, and adopt cyber <\/p>\n\n\n\n
insurance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pangallo measured individual resilience by using a number scale. There were eight core constructs, which <\/p>\n\n\n\n
are consistently used in measuring resilience. The six internal traits are adaptation, self-efficacy, active <\/p>\n\n\n\n
coping, positive emotion, hardiness, and mastery. The two external traits are supportive relationships and <\/p>\n\n\n\n
a structured environment.\u00a0They created a questionnaire that was completed by 151 people. There were <\/p>\n\n\n\n
four scales. The four scales were the human cyber-resilience scale, security behavior intentions scale, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
brief resilience scale, and the computer self-efficacy scale. Most individuals scored that they did not have<\/p>\n\n\n\n
support from family nor friends. That result turned out to be -0.632. Then some individuals said that they<\/p>\n\n\n\n
did not have support while dealing with the attack. That result turned out to be -0.625.\u00a0This article <\/p>\n\n\n\n
showed me that there is not a lot of support when someone is victimized by a cyber attack. They have to<\/p>\n\n\n\n
patiently wait or just give up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While looking at the questionnaire results, the majority of the individuals did learn from a cyber attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They started to create different passwords, and utilized the two way authentication for extra security <\/p>\n\n\n\n
safety. Once they received something saying that their password was compromised, they immediately <\/p>\n\n\n\n
started changing their passwords. The focus should be balanced between being attacked and not being <\/p>\n\n\n\n
attacked. Even though, policies and regulations are created to prevent cyber attacks. What are the <\/p>\n\n\n\n
policies and regulations after the individual has been attacked?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
