Cybersecurity is a growing and important area for researchers. People tend to underestimate the potential for a cyber-attack against their organisation and the costs associated with such attacks. But technology is only one component in achieving cyber-resilience: the ‘human factor’ is critical in building effective cyber-resilience for any organisation. Insufficiently secured systems and the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) such as internet connected refrigerators, automation devices, and cameras are major sources for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. This affects not only businesses but households.
