About the project
Cyber security is subject to rapid technological progress. Consequently, there is an increasing need for a scientific understanding of the individual human limitations in cybersecurity performance, particularly with regards to communication in cyber threat situations. ACDICOM responds to this need.When a cyber-threat hits private or public organisations, it triggers a complex communication process between different players of different professional backgrounds in and beyond the institution. Technological experts and decision-makers quickly need to exchange information about these threats, as do teams within an organisation. In addition, organisations need to inform other organisations and different sectors of society need to communicate between themselves rapidly. The exchange between technological experts and decision-makers thus happens under great time and performance pressure. Consequently, the way we communicate cyber threat information is crucial to the quality of the decisions that are made as the perceived information shapes the situational awareness of decision-makers on all levels.
