Cybersecurity e vulnerabilità del fattore umano

In recent times decision makers have devoted a lot of attention to cyber threats, since cybersecurity is a prerequisite for the good functioning of an increasing number of economic and non-economic activities. The effectiveness of legislative and control measures, however, depends on individual behaviours. In the absence of individual awareness and knowledge, increasing spaces for vulnerability open up. This paper aims to deepen the research on individual behaviours in the field of cybersecurity, in the awareness that the research does not yet devote the necessary attention to these phenomena. The results show a widespread vulnerability, even among more educated people who are supposed to be less likely fake news believers.
