Human Factors in Cybersecurity

Purpose

The digital revolution has paved the way for numerous opportunities in various industries. However, this has also given rise to sophisticated cybercrime activities that can undermine the stability and credibility of these industries. The latest Australian Cyber Security Centre Annual Cyber Threat Report July 2021 to June 2022 reveals a growing sophistication and frequency in cybercrime, cyber incidents and threats. These challenges are not limited by national borders and are becoming increasingly complex for organisation is to manage. the consequences include not only financial loss but also significant damage to an organisation's reputation, disruptions to both business operations and essential services, and in some cases, irreparable harm to the organisation affected.

Task details

Your task is divided into two parts. First is to create a digital poster that critically assesses the cybercrime business models and threats they pose on the cyber practices of a chosen industry, and to suggest mitigation strategies. Second, to self-evaluate your learning and develop your evaluative judgement to assess the quality of your work.

Task 1. Digital Poster (equivalent to 1000 words)

1. Industry selection and profile - choose an industry and provide information within an Australian context.
- Top 5 major organisations in the industry
- Top 5 industry sectors
- Key 5 industry factors
- Top 5 Industry growth areas / technological trends

2. Cybercrime business models - critically analyse between (3 to 5) cybercrime business models that are relevant to your selected industry.
- Key facts: structure, revenue, recruitment, dynamics and collaboration
- Key trends

3. Threat assessment and recent (from 2022 onwards) breach - evaluate how these cybercrime business models can pose threats to the cyber practices within the industry. Provide examples of recent (from 2022 onwards) breaches affecting the industry.

- Top 5 cyber threats facing selected industry
- Recent breaches from 2022 onwards

4. Mitigation strategies - suggest protective measures that the industry can implement to safeguard against these threats.
- Identify various mitigation strategies tailored to selected industry based cybercrime model, threats, risk and vulnerabilities.

5. Research, sources and references - cite all data, statistics, and external information used in your poster. It is expected students will have at least S high-quality sources.

Why does designing and delivering a digital poster matter to your learning and cybersecurity?

The digital poster task serves multiple important functions. First, it gives you real-world insights into the complexities of cybercrime, knowledge that is directly applicable to the cybersecurity field. Second, it enhances your visual communication skills, helping you convey complex ideas in a digestible, visual format-a crucial ability in today's digital landscape. Finally, the task offers a holistic learning experience by integrating principles of business, ethics, and cybersecurity, providing a comprehensive understanding that extends beyond any single discipline.

Task 2. Self-evaluation (200 words):

1. Self-evaluation #1 - complete a self-evaluation of the marking rubric for one of your draft digital posters with two suggested improvements. Template provided.

Tips: Once you have an adequate draft of your digital poster, self-evaluate your draft digital poster by indicating what score on the marking rubric you give yourself. All students learn at different paces and styles. Give yourself adequate time (e.g., this 'time varies between individuals, it could be at least a week to a few days) to reflect and improve your work before finalising your digital poster. Take your time. Be honest with yourself. The aim is to learn and improve. It takes time to self-evaluate and think about improvements you can make.
Suggested word count: -25-50 words

2. Self-evaluation #2 - complete a self-evaluation of the marking rubric for your final digital poster and comment on how you have incorporated the improvements in your final digital poster. Template provided.
Tips. Once you have incorporated your improvements in your final digital poster, self-evaluate your final digital poster by indicating what score on the marking rubric you give yourself. Again, take your time. Be honest with yourself. The aim is to learn and improve, and not inflate your score. This isn't a tick-box exercise but a chance for meaningful reflection. Think of this as a conversation with yourself about your learning process and outcomes.
Suggested word count: -25-50 words

3. Self-reflection task - complete the self-reflection task: What, So What and Now What. Template is provided.
Tips: This task should be completed as the final activity at the end of your self-evaluations of your digital poster and before your final assessment 2 submission.
Suggested word count: -100-150 words

Why does practicing self-evaluation matter to your learning and cybersecurity?

The practice of self-evaluation helps to enhance your critical thinking skills so you can critically assess the quality of your own work to build your capacity to make judgements about what constitutes good work at industry standards. Through self-evaluation, it also helps with taking ownership of your learning experiences and aligning your perception with reality. Reflective practice is essential for professional fields such as cybersecurity where ongoing improvements and instilling a habit of continual reflection is necessary, and where we must adapt to evolving standards and technologies.
