Past research investigating the human side of cybersecurity has treated people as isolated individuals rather than as social actors acting within a web of relationships and social influence. We are investigating how social influence can and does affect cybersecurity. More specifically, we are studying how people learn about new security behaviors from their social network, using both qualitative and quantitative methods.We are also developing and evaluating novel techniques for leveraging social influences to improve people?s awareness and knowledge of cybersecurity, as well as motivation to act securely. These techniques make use of established principles from social psychology for influencing people, specifically similarity and social norms. We are applying these same ideas towards influencing people?s attitudes and behaviors towards cybersecurity.Success in this work will open up a new dimension to cybersecurity and add to the toolbox for researchers and practitioners, in terms of applying known ideas from an established field in a new context to improve cybersecurity. Our work will also improve the community?s understanding of how people learn their cybersecurity behaviors (of which currently there is little literature), and will lead to a rigorous evaluation of how effective two different social mechanisms are in influencing people?s awareness, knowledge, and motivations towards acting more securely online.

过去调查网络安全人性方面的研究将人们视为孤立的个体，而不是在关系和社会影响网络中发挥作用的社会行为者。我们正在调查社会影响力如何能够并且确实影响网络安全。更具体地说，我们正在研究人们如何从他们的社交网络中学习新的安全行为，使用定性和定量的方法。我们还在开发和评估利用社会影响力来改善人们的新技术。的网络安全意识和知识，以及采取安全行动的动机。这些技术利用社会心理学的既定原则来影响人们，特别是相似性和社会规范。我们是不是在用同样的想法去影响别人？这项工作的成功将为网络安全开辟一个新的层面，并为研究人员和从业人员增加工具箱，在新的背景下应用现有领域的已知想法来改善网络安全。我们的工作也会改善社区吗？的理解，人们如何学习他们的网络安全行为（目前很少有文献），并将导致如何有效地影响人们的两种不同的社会机制进行严格的评估？的意识，知识和动机，以采取更安全的在线行动。
