Abstract
The complex relationship between cyber attacks and human cognition remains a critical area of investigation, as understanding the psychological and related physiological aspects of attackers can lead to significant advancements in cybersecurity. This study expands on existing data by measuring heart rate variability (HRV) and electrodermal activity (EDA) that was collected during a two-day cyber exercise involving expert participants where the experimental conditions encompassed both cyber and psychological deception. The analysis of the physiological data revealed that participants’ stress responses were related to the experimental conditions involving deception (both psychological and cyber). These findings offer valuable insights into the stress levels experienced by cyber attackers and their potential impact on the success of cyber attacks. Decision analytics based off this information can be used by cyber defenders to improve cyber security tools and techniques.
