Abstrakt: Treating humans as partners rather than liabilities in cybersecurity strengthens defenses against modern cyber threats. Traditional approaches often view users as weak links, emphasizing restrictive measures to reduce human error, such as limiting user control or enforcing strict security protocols. However, these methods overlook the potential of empowering users to contribute positively to security efforts. "Enabling approaches," which promote user engagement and motivation, harness human strengths, fostering behaviors that support security rather than merely preventing errors, offering a more holistic, resilient approach to combat evolving cyber threats.
