How a CISO Uses Social Science Research
The field of Cyber Security is ever evolving. As hardware and software becomes more advanced so do the level of threats. The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has become an essential role in most organizations (Monzelo et al, 2019). It is the responsibility of the CISO to develop an information security plan, implement that plan and continually adjust policies and procedures as required (Monzelo et al, 2019). The CISO role requires an understanding of the requirements of the organization it is protecting (Monzelo et al, 2019). There is also a need for understanding the behavior and habits of users in order to identify a possible security risk before it occurs (Monzelo et al, 2019). By using social science research, a CISO can effectively identify suspicious behavior and predict a security risk before it happens.
