Abstract
Without a shared understanding of human-centered cybersecurity (HCC), organizations may struggle to know if and how to incorporate meaningful and impactful human-centered cybersecurity approaches. As a first step towards developing a shared understanding of HCC, we engaged in mixed-methods research to discover how various cybersecurity stakeholder groups currently perceive HCC. This poster documents preliminary results related to how different stakeholder groups describe HCC and who they think are the "humans" referred to in the term.Proceedings Title
