Cybersecurity measures are designed to protect people, property, systems, networks, data, and related resources from threats. These measures include prevention, identification, response to, and recovery from cybersecurity incidents. Assets are identified, and threats, vulnerabilities, and risks are assessed before the development and implementation of cybersecurity measures. Security research can help inform the development of new and enhancement of existing cybersecurity measures. Cybersecurity measures often fail to consider the people who utilize them. Humans can either facilitate or interfere with cybersecurity efforts. For this reason, effective cybersecurity measures and systems need to be created with the individuals who will use them in mind.
