The Security of Self
The Security of Self: A Human-Centric Approach to Cybersecurity redefines what it means to be secure in the digital context, placing people at the centre of cybersecurity. Drawing on multidisciplinary expertise, it offers a nuanced exploration of how policy, law, technology, and human behaviour intersect to shape the future of cybersecurity.
Rather than only examine the concept through the lens of national security and organisational risks, as it often is, the authors explore a new human-centric approach to cybersecurity: the security of self. This perspective invites a paradigm shift where the core purpose is to protect people—and society—from harm, and where individual and collective rights define what it means to provide a safe cyber environment.
With a distinct Canadian focus and case studies spanning the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and social media, the collection charts a path forward for cybersecurity, grounded in law, policy, and practices that advance the security of self. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, regulators, and individuals seeking to understand and shape the future of human-centric cybersecurity.
