Cyber Security: A Peer-Reviewed Journal Volume 7 Number 1 · October 19, 2023

This paper proposes a neuroscience-informed approach to training cybersecurity first responders for disaster preparedness. By incorporating insights from neuroscience research, organizations can develop training strategies that promote stress resilience and enhance decision-making under pressure. The training techniques proposed herein are not exclusive to a certain personnel role within the response team but are generalizable to all within an organization facing stressors from large scale disasters requiring timely emergency response. As each organization has its own particular response team protocols for various types of cyber security emergencies, the authors have suggested approaches to training, particularly as it relates to stress resilience, that are more easily scalable, generalizable and adaptable.
