Human Factors (Security)

Human Factors (Security) is a multidisciplinary approach that integrates knowledge about human strengths and limitations into system design to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. Coursera's Human Factors (Security) catalogue equips you with an understanding of how human behaviour and capabilities can influence the level of security within a system. You'll learn about principles of human-centric design, risk perception and decision making, social engineering, physical and cognitive ergonomics, and the role of human error in security breaches. This knowledge enhances your ability to implement robust security measures that take into account human factors, improving the resilience and efficiency of a range of systems from digital platforms to physical infrastructures.
