Cybersecurity, information security, and privacy are permanent news items and organizations are overwhelmed with emergent cyber threats, as individuals also are. The fast development and adoption of digital technologies together with rapid advancements and increased sophistication of the tools and techniques of the malicious actors leave organizations and individuals exposed to cybersecurity risks. Recently, for instance, the use of AI has shown its potential for not only effectively protecting against threats but also giving tools for cybercriminals to craft advanced and evermore convincing phishing attacks and diversions. Quantum computers will change the security game in the (near) future. Social engineering scams are costing individuals not only their money, but also their sensitive health information. In the midst of these rapid developments, employees are frequently portrayed as contributors to security risks, yet others view them as key to the solution. To address these cybersecurity and privacy challenges, we need new approaches and novel solutions for cybersecurity that not only protect the organization but respect people’s privacy and rights and empower them. As cybersecurity is not a chain but a complex network of people, technologies, and processes, the novel approaches must combine all these elements, also in different contexts and with diverse stakeholders.
