A Cyber Belief Model

Video recording: https://youtu.be/1WcwSJekxPo

Featured Speaker: Adam Shostack

The Health Belief Model (HBM) is a longstanding family of models to explain why people don’t act on health advice. Could adaptation of the HBM to cybersecurity – a “Cyber Belief Model (CBM)” – be a useful way to identify and address inhibitors to action, leading to improved security globally?

Adam Shostack was our featured speaker. He explored the idea of a Cyber Belief Model and wrote a report, which you can download here.
