“Putting human beings at the heart of Cybersecurity”
What if users were not only a threat, but rather one of the answers to the challenges posed by cybersecurity?
Instead of ‘zero trust’ architectures based on ‘distrust by default’, it would certainly be more effective –and cheaper– to put users in a central position, to turn them into real cybersecurity players within their organisation. However, this approach would require to rethink the ‘Human-Machine’ interactions, to make security more intuitive, and to integrate the ‘security by default’ requirement into processes and uses. In other words, to give priority to the ‘user experience’…
The goal is certainly not to oppose Human Beings and technology! On the contrary, the aim is to make the most of both: on the one hand, users whose awareness has been raised and who have been empowered will not try to systematically bypass security rules; on the other hand, more ’empathic’ technologies would better adapt to users’ needs and put more emphasis on data security, as close as possible to users.
Cyber-MAR project was one of the 2,500 visitors of the International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC) , leading European event on Cybersecurity, has just closed the doors of its 12th edition, at the Grand Palais in Lille.
The event was relied on a Trade fair for buyers and suppliers of cybersecurity solutions to meet and network and a forum to foster reflection and exchanges among the European cybersecurity ecosystem.
Cyber-MAR participated in a workshop organised within the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace: “Building on the momentum of the community to move forward“,took place the 3rd day of the FIC 2020.
