The Cloud Security Alliance Swiss Chapter has started a new Research Project on Cyber Threat Psychology
March 13, 2025
Cyber Threats often have a strong psychological component underneath which facilitates the success of the attacks. The new Cyber Threat Psychology Research Project intends to set the focus on the supply side i.e. the hackers and their motivations and incentive structures, what made them become a hacker, the transmission mechanisms supporting the attack to succeed, and of course also on the receiving side i.e. the victims. Our goal is to find patterns which can be leveraged to influence the supply side and the transmission mechanisms, and to broadly communicate these, with the goal of changing mindset at the supply side and interrupting the transmission channels where possible.

Many small and mid-sized cloud-based Anything-as-a-Service (XaaS) vendors struggle to implement robust information security controls. These security gaps particularly discourage corporate customers that operate in highly regulated industries. Customers in these industries must individually assess XaaS cloud services using heavy-weight cloud control assessments, incurring a significant cost and resulting in complex remediation requirements for the vendor.
