Human Factors in Automating Cyber Operations

Abstract

Human-machine interaction issues must be addressed in designs and implementation of automation for cybersecurity. The community must not start from scratch to implement best practices; we review for the community and practitioners the relevant history and research done by human factors for human-automation interaction. We bring these theories and results to a handful of cybersecurity elements with two main goals: (1) educate the cyber discipline, and (2) provide guidelines toward building automated cybersecurity technology.
