Human Centric Cyber Security: What are the New Trends in Data Protection?

The debate about the use of automated security measures versus training and awareness of people with access to data (such as employees) to protect sensitive and/or private information has been going on for some time. In this paper, we outline the thinking behind security, what hackers are trying to accomplish and the best ways of combating these efforts using the latest techniques that combine multiple lines of defense. Different major categories of automated security measures as well as major training and awareness techniques are discussed outlining strengths and weaknesses of each method.
