Cybersecurity professionals know that the human element is a wild card in even the best-designed systems. As a complex socio-technical system with both human and engineered components, cybersecurity requires systemic approaches that can uncover recurring behavior patterns that drive key performance outcomes.
Creating effective cybersecurity approaches requires an understanding of how people—both intended users and adversaries—will perceive and interact with the various features of the system. Systems thinking offers tools and approaches to manage this complexity and understand related problems.
