Humans in the Cyber Loop: Perspectives on Social Cybersecurity

Humans in the Cyber Loop: Perspectives on Social Cybersecurity addresses the evolving role of humans in cyberspace through an analysis of how digital interactions and advancements both shape and are shaped by societal, economic, and political factors. The book systematically explores social cybersecurity, the impact of disinformation on democratic processes, the influence of social media on public opinion, and the implications of algorithmic decision-making to demonstrate the importance of building societal resilience to cyber attacks and to better understand specific needs and challenges in this domain. Excerpt from a review by Prof. Danuta Kaźmierczak, University of the National Education Commission, Kraków: "The authors treat … cyberspace as an ecosystem composed of networks of organizations, individuals and technologies, whose dynamics are defined by the multidimensional relationships of these components … The book contains analyses and examples that allow a greater understanding of the processes, phenomena and mechanisms occurring in societies, created at the intersection of the real and virtual worlds."
