Digital Security

Guest: Bonnie Anderson, PhD, Marriott School Information Systems Professor and Neurosecurity Researcher at Brigham Young University  Improving our security online is a $67 billion-year business. It’s huge. And yet, what’s your instinct when you’re surfing the web and a little window pops up warning you could be at risk? Most of us hit ignore and move on. We, the human users, are the weak link in internet security. But it’s not all our fault. Studies conducted in the neurosecurity lab here at BYU show our biology deserves some of the blame, too.
