Abstract

The way we do cybersecurity isn't working. Failure to attend to the human factors of cybersecurity is the cause. One human factor which has been critically ignored is cybersecurity education and training designed for the average, everyday user. The dominate approaches to this sort of education and training have been shown to be at best ineffective and at worst actively harmful. In this essay I describe how the field of digital rhetoric can be leveraged to design more effective programs and thus improve cybersecurity.
