Nudging has proven itself in various areas such as health, education, finance, security and privacy. Nudging argues that to facilitate decision-making, it is better to make the process easy, more attractive, and socially desirable rather than relying on the establishment of strict policies, prohibitions or even sanctions. Nudging can take several forms, such as labelling …
A threat detection system that aims to be collaborative and active cannot function without adequate communication between the actors involved. In particular, an exchange of information about responses to security incidents allows better identification and prevention of future incidents while enabling them to be isolated faster. On the other hand, the main problem that seems …
The increase in daily and excessive use of cell phones in the past decade has contributed significantly to the rise in nomophobia. Nomophobia is an indicator of the anxiety experienced by smartphone users (or any technology connected to the Internet) when they face the inability to use these devices.
