Neuroscience foundations for human decision making in information security: A general framework and experiment design

Abstract

In this paper, we propose a conceptual model for information security (InfoSec) decision making that is based on cognitive science and neuroscience, and present a comprehensive framework of InfoSec decision making process. In addition, we illustrate a specific experiment design that could be used to investigate how specific automatic affective processes would impact specific components of the InfoSec decision making process.
