Abstract
Incident response teams in cyber defense (CSIRTs) play a critical role in mitigating security events. Advancement in the field requires integrating approaches from social and behavioral sciences to better understand the humans in the system. This research investigates IR tasks and the humans that perform them using Human Factors methods to determine functional requirements for possible automated solutions. Findings presented in a systems engineering language will inform algorithmic development from other scientific fields currently addressing cyber defense with computational methods.
