My name is Alireza, and I am completing my Master of Cyber Security. I have worked as an IT technical support for several years and have an undergraduate degree in networking. Besides pursuing a cyber security profession, I have also published short story books and am interested in human behaviors. My interest and passion for human factors in cyber security and cyber mitigating techniques lead me to the following initial research areas:
-Cyber Terrorism and Radicalisation in Online Spaces
-Human Factors in Preventing and Mitigating social engineering driven cyber attacks
After several weeks of brainstorming different ideas around cyberwarfare and cyberterrorism, I wondered if I could meaningfully develop a research topic in cyberterrorism for this subject. Meanwhile, a slight shift in my approach got me closer to a topic where I could include my interest in human factors to address technology, issues, application, and innovation more confidently. As part of my initial research, I came across ACSC’s Annual Cyber Threat Report and learned about the increasing threat of Business Email Compromise (BEC) Attacks. I then used keywords such as “human factors,” “cyber attack mitigation,” and “authentication factors” to further develop ideas around BEC. I eventually felt pretty confident choosing the following topic for my ICT571 project.
“Evaluating the Effectiveness of Multi-Factor Authentication and the Impact of Human Factors in Preventing and Mitigating Business Email Compromise (BEC) Attacks.”
