Behavioral Cyber Science
Abstract
The point where hardware, software, and humans interact has formed a new area of research – Behavioral Cyber Science. Research in behavioral cyber science will advance the understanding and technical rigor of modeling and predicting human responses to cyber activities which will ultimately enhance cyber operations through planning, and training. Future research must broaden the scope beyond the impacts of cyber actions on equipment to include the impact that these cyber actions will have on human behavior and our adversary’s forces. Just as an adversary’s behavior may be better understood using behavioral cyber science, behavioral science can be used to improve the actions of cyber defenders and the performance of the cyber workforce. Data gleaned from observing effects of various cyber operations on users’ productivity, performance, and security will help the DoD design better techniques and processes for use in cyber defense and operation.
