Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for more effectively preparing for and responding to cybersecurity threats directed at people or at groups of people. A segmentation process is described that evaluates multiple characteristics of a person that may make them a potential target or that may make a cybersecurity attack on that person more likely to be successful. Based on the segmentation, a security analyst can apply an appropriate risk reduction or security protocol to each person or group of similarly situated people to reduce the likelihood of an attack and/or the likelihood of a successful attack.
