The Biggest Threat to Your Digital Security Isn’t a Hacker — It’s Human Nature, Says Dr. Sheeba Armoogum

Dr. Sheeba Armoogum argues that the greatest cybersecurity vulnerabilities are often human—requiring AI-enhanced, ethically transparent systems and a focus on cyberpsychology to preserve trust. Her book Digital Afterlife and her work at the University of Mauritius call for lifecycle governance of digital assets, structural mentoring to elevate women into advanced research roles, and proactive organizational policies to manage digital legacies. #DrSheebaArmoogum #DigitalAfterlife

Keypoints

Human behavior and social engineering are primary vulnerabilities in modern cyber threats.
AI-driven detection can shift defense from reactive to proactive but must be transparent and auditable.
Digital Afterlife urges legal, technical, and victim-justice frameworks to manage posthumous digital assets.
Advancing women in cybersecurity requires funded pathways, hands-on exposure, and visible leadership roles.
Individuals and organizations should adopt lifecycle management for digital credentials, data governance, and access transfer protocols.
