Introduction to the Book
摘要
Contemporary security threats have become more sophisticated, outpacing traditional technology-based solutions. This chapter emphasises the need of including human aspects into security risk management, illustrating that technology alone cannot sufficiently defend against vulnerabilities caused by human error, bias, and manipulation. It proposes a human-centred strategy, pushing for multidisciplinary ideas from psychology, criminology, sociology, and risk communication to address these difficulties holistically. The book's main goal is to balance technical safeguards with an understanding of human dynamics, therefore increasing organisational resilience to cyberattacks, insider threats, and social engineering approaches. The book, divided into four sections, rigorously investigates how perceptions, cognitive biases, criminal motives, and effective risk communication tactics interact with real security solutions. It is aimed at professionals, scholars, and general readers and gives empirical methodologies and concepts for developing a proactive, psychologically informed security culture.
