More often than not, it is becoming increasingly evident that the weakest links in the information-security chain are the people. Due an increase in information security threats, it is imperative for organizations and professionals to learn more on the human nature and social interactions behind those creating the problem. Social and Human Elements of Information Security: Emerging Trends and Countermeasures provides insightful, high-quality research into the social and human aspects of information security. A comprehensive source of the latest trends, issues, and findings in the field, this book fills the missing gap in existing literature by bringing together the most recent work from researchers in the fast and evolving field of information security.
