| Multimedia | A inteligência artificial está transformando a cibersegurança e a proteção de dados de uma forma que vai muito além da simples automação | cipher | ||||
| Multimedia | Cybersecurity is often perceived as a purely technological or organizational concern, but in reality, it is deeply human. Every digital interaction—whether sending a message, clicking a link, or sharing personal information—reflects human behavior and psychology. This is where cyberpsychology plays a critical role. By studying how people think, feel, and act in digital environments, cyberpsychology provides insights into why individuals fall prey to social engineering, neglect security practices, or become vulnerable to manipulation online. Creating awareness through cyberpsychology helps individuals understand not only the “how” but also the “why” behind cyber risks. It empowers people to recognize patterns of deception, manage digital impulses, and adopt healthy cyber habits—ultimately strengthening personal and collective cyber hygiene. Cybersecurity must no longer be viewed as a specialized subject belonging only to IT teams or organizations. It is a social topic, a shared responsibility, and a life skill that belongs to every human being in today’s connected world. Just as hygiene protects physical health, cyber hygiene protects digital well-being, safeguarding families, communities, and societies. Through cyberpsychology, we can foster a culture of mindful, responsible digital behavior that transforms cybersecurity from a technical safeguard into a human-centric social practice. |
