Bridging the gap between behavioral science and cybersecurity, this book challenges the traditional reliance on purely technical defenses and explores why human error accounts for up to 95% of cybersecurity breaches. Drawing from psychology, cognitive science, and organizational behavior, this book provides a compelling framework for rethinking how individuals, teams, and systems interact in high-stakes digital environments.

About The Book

Behavioral Insights in Cybersecurity: A Guide to Digital Human Factors by Dr. Dustin S. Sachs is a timely and essential resource for cybersecurity professionals, leaders, and organizational strategists seeking to understand the powerful role of human behavior in shaping digital security outcomes.

Through real-world examples and practical strategies, the book examines how cognitive biases, decision fatigue, stress, and cultural dynamics influence security performance. Leaders will learn to recognize and mitigate biases like availability and confirmation bias, implement structured decision-making processes, and foster cultures that prioritize security without sacrificing usability or autonomy.

This book is not just a guide — it’s a call to reimagine cybersecurity leadership through the lens of human behavior, ethics, and strategic decision-making.
