Cyber Place Management and Crime Prevention: The Effectiveness of Cybersecurity Awareness Training Against Phishing Attacks

“…Moreover, they assert that cyber place management strategies based on implementing cybersecurity awareness training and a resilient incident response can be essential to reduce the probability of cybercrime victimization in an online domain. Similarly, many cybersecurity experts (e.g., Abawajy et al, 2008; Back et al, 2019; Dodge et al, 2007) conclude that cybersecurity awareness program is a capstone of the cybersecurity practices so that it enables individual online users to enhance their capabilities and alter their behaviors to effectively fight against cyber threats. To that end, human factors—cyber place management and online user’s behavior—still play an important role in developing cybersecurity counter-measures and protecting critical infrastructure and information from cyber adversaries.…”

Profiling the Cybercriminal: A Systematic Review of Research

“…The type of data used to investigate cybercriminals is also crucial to understanding the nature of this research on this topic. We found that 22 (or, just over half of the) articles rely on new data, be it from surveys, interviews (with criminals and law enforcement), court records, case studies, underground markets or honeypots [3], [7], [8], [10], [11], [24], [29], [31]- [36], [43]- [45], [48], [49], [52], [57]- [59]. The other studies primarily use existing literature to form their arguments and often rely on research from other fields, or established approaches mapped to the cybercrime domain [2], [4], [5], [9], [12], [13], [15], [18], [21], [25], [27], [46], [50], [53]- [56].…”

“…As described: "....Determining and understanding why hackers do what they do". Overall, the definitions provided focused on different criminal profiling approaches such as inductive and deductive profiling [3], [4], [9], [11], [46], [48], [55], geographic profiling [8], and psychological profiling [46].…”

“…The papers focusing on hackers study white hat, black hat hackers and hacktivists [3], [4], [7], [12], [13], [18], [21], [27], [49], [54]- [56]. The basis on which different members of the hacker community differentiate themselves is the ethics of their activities, such as black hat or white hat hackers which acknowledges the use of malicious or ethical applications of hacking [20].…”

“…The well-known criminal profiling framework of the FBI [16] was also used to collect and analyse information [3], [44]. The FBI criminal profiling model follows a deductive and inductive approach.…”
