The Cloud Security Alliance Swiss Chapter has started a new Research Project on Cyber Threat Psychology

Cyber Threats often have a strong psychological component underneath which facilitates the success of the attacks. The new Cyber Threat Psychology Research Project intends to set the focus on the supply side i.e. the hackers and their motivations and incentive structures, what made them become a hacker, the transmission mechanisms supporting the attack to succeed, and of course also on the receiving side i.e. the victims. Our goal is to find patterns which can be leveraged to influence the supply side and the transmission mechanisms, and to broadly communicate these, with the goal of changing mindset at the supply side and interrupting the transmission channels where possible.
