  title = {Understanding the Last Line of Defense: Human Response to Cybersecurity Events},
  abstract = {Cybersecurity in consumer, corporate, and military settings, continues to be a growing concern in the modern and technologically driven world. As Wiederhold (2014) puts it, “the human factor remains the security’s weakest link in cyberspace.” A literature review related to human response to cybersecurity events reveals three phases involved in the cybersecurity response process, including: (1) Susceptibility, the phase preceding an event, which primarily encompasses behaviors that impact vulnerability to a cybersecurity event; (2) Detection of the event when it occurs; and (3) Response to the event after it occurs. },

  note = {In order for an individual to effectively protect themselves and their organizations from cybersecurity breaches, they must understand and be sensitive to the susceptibility of their devices, and when a potential breach occurs, must exhibit rapid and effective response. The goal of this effort was to examine the human factors surrounding non-expert response to a cybersecurity vulnerability or event and create a framework based on the literature. Recommendations for what steps can be taken to better prepare individuals to respond to cyber events is provided.},
