Summary
Advancement in technology is ensuring that people use smart devices excessively. This excessive use of such devices results in the generation and storage of a huge amount of data at the personal as well as organizational level. However, there are continuous threats to this data being stolen and misused owing to security breaches especially among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) due to lack of awareness, lack of training, lack of expertise, and less financial resources. Unfortunately, majority of the security breaches among SMEs are caused by human mistakes or human behaviour thus making people as the most vulnerable component for cyber security hackers.
Therefore, the objective of this special issue is to investigate human and associated aspects that results in cyber security breaches.
