Journal Entry 7

Review the following ten photos through a human-centered cybersecurity framework. Create a meme for your favorite three, explaining what is going on in the individual’s or individuals’ mind(s).

Explain how your memes relate to Human-centered cybersecurity.

I created these memes to show that our lives revolve around social media. Human-centered cybersecurity models humans as the center element of cybersecurity and information security procedures, frameworks,
designs, and the integration of technology as an effort to reduced human- enabled errors (Nobles, 2018). This is a really hard concept to apply because humans are the weakest link when it comes to cybersecurity. My memes show that humans look at everything thats put in front of them. My phishing meme emphasizes that humans will click on something that appeals to them, causing their personal data to be leaked. Raising cybersecurity awareness is exactly what human-centered cybersecurity does and I like the way this is moving forward.

“The feeling when you finally focus on your assignments for the week.”
“When I click on a phishing link and my computer gets a virus”
“That awkward moment when you realize you’ve been scrolling on Instagram explore page for 3 hours”
