Computational models of cognitive processes may be employed in cyber-security tools,
experiments, and simulations to address human agency and effective decision-making in …

Ensuring cyber security is a complex task that relies on domain knowledge and requires
cognitive abilities to determine possible threats from large amounts of network data. This …

Purpose As cyber-attacks continue to grow, organisations adopting the internet-of-things
(IoT) have continued to react to security concerns that threaten their businesses within the …

Many of the challenges associated with cybersecurity operations are also ripe opportunities
for the application of human-machine teaming. Advances in cognitive science, artificial …

Success of phishing attacks depend on effective exploitation of human weaknesses. This
research explores a largely ignored, but crucial aspect of phishing: the adversarial behavior …

Social engineering is one of the preferred methods used by criminals to gain unauthorized
access to information and information systems. Social engineering targets especially the …

Recent research in cybersecurity has begun to develop active defense strategies using
game‐theoretic optimization of the allocation of limited defenses combined with deceptive …

Cybersecurity stands to benefit greatly from models able to generate predictions of attacker
and defender behavior. On the defender side, there is promising research suggesting that …

In this paper we outline a holistic approach for understanding and simulating human
decision making in knowledge-intensive tasks. To this purpose, we integrate semantic and …

This research investigates the email features that make a phishing email difficult to detect by
humans. We use an existing data set of phishing and ham emails and expand that data set …
