This study paper aims to shed light on the critical role that human factors play in the digital security landscape. Understanding the delicate connection between human behaviour and cyber security has become critical in an era marked by growing cyber threats. We uncover the complexity that underpin user activities in cyberspace by diving into the domains of psychology, cognitive biases, and decision-making processes. The ethical concerns of data collection and privacy issues are also examined. This article also investigates the efficacy of security awareness campaigns, the trade-offs between usability and security, and the emerging topic of user-centric security technology. We demonstrate the concrete impact of human behaviour on cyber security results using a variety of case studies and actual evidence. Finally, this study provides valuable insights and recommendations for strengthening organizations' and individuals' resilience to evolving cyber threats, emphasizing the critical need for a holistic approach that bridges the gap between technology and psychology in safeguarding the digital realm.
