Abstract

Cybersecurity has become a central concern in today's digital era, with
threats continually evolving and challenging existing defense mechanisms. Traditional
approaches to cybersecurity have largely focused on technological solutions, while
behavioral aspects of users remain largely unaddressed. This article proposes a crossdisciplinary approach to cybersecurity by integrating behavioral science with
information technology. It explores how psychological principles can inform security
practices and enhance user engagement with cybersecurity tools. The study examines
the behavioral tendencies that contribute to cybersecurity risks and identifies ways in
which technological systems can be designed to address these behaviors. By fostering
collaboration between behavioral scientists and IT professionals, the paper outlines a
more holistic approach to cybersecurity, one that emphasizes user behavior alongside
technological measures
