Overview

Quantitative study highlights the impact of human factors on social engineering, suggesting new security frameworks and solutions.

Key Points

  • Human factors significantly contribute to vulnerabilities in information security, especially in social engineering attacks.
  • Impersonation and business email compromise led to overwhelming losses of 2.9 billion and 1.3 billion dollars respectively.
  • A quantitative questionnaire gathered 208 responses, revealing a significant lack of understanding about human factors in security.
  • Proposed security frameworks integrate both technical and human solutions to effectively prevent social engineering risks.
