Abstract

Virtual work opened a whole lot of change when it came to the cybersecurity landscape. Technology has made many contributions to secure remote workplaces, but the human element has always been a targeted attack vector to mitigate cyber threats. This paper explores the influence of human behavior and cognitive biases on the vulnerabilities that affect remote work environments due to poor security decisions coming because of some particular biases and how the features of remote work amplify their effects. The paper also suggests appropriate techniques for organizations on how to tackle these issues through effective training, awareness programs, and by improving security policies. Understanding and mitigating the human factors involved in Cybersecurity would give organizations an edge in developing more secure and resilient remote work environments.
