Abstract

For cybersecurity, understanding human behaviour is important and especially in phishing attacks risks can be attributed to human error. To better understand behavioural changes we performed a computational analysis by an adaptive dynamical system represented as an adaptive network model. The base network model was refined by adding training options to it and then formalised by an adaptive network model. Simulation experiments were conducted and What-If analysis and risk assessment.
