Abstract

Security culture refers to the shared norms, values, and beliefs about cybersecurity held by individuals within an organisation. It shapes and informs how people think and behave in relation to security. Because security culture is inherently people-centric, it naturally intersects with the domains of sociology, psychology, and computing, particularly human-computer interaction.
