Abstract

The world faces increasing prevalence of cyber threats and cyberattacks despite advancements in technological defences against them. Cyber perpetrators are constantly looking to exploit any vulnerabilities in the computer and network systems, which humans are unfortunately the weakness link. Although they are aware of the threats and know what should be done in order to protect themselves and their organisations, people are still not engaging enough in these cyber hygiene practices. This article consequently attempts to understand human behaviours in cyberspace, providing insights to the reasons for this phenomenon and what can be done to improve it.
