ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to provide insight for researchers and practitioners into the challenges that are unique to cybersecurity in the selection context. It outlines the current trends in cyber attacks, cybersecurity issues within the context of current selection methods, other issues in selection, and finally, recommendations and directions for future research. Cybersecurity training should include advising employees to avoid social engineering techniques such as "click on this link" e-mails or foreign USB sticks and guiding employees to report any suspicious e-mail or possible malware attacks. The rise of e-mail as the major form of communication in organizations gave hackers a tool to utilize social engineering manipulations. As organizations move their employee application process to the online world, a Distributed Denial of Service attack can cripple the ability for potential applicants to begin the initial application process and also hinder the organization from accessing its own online presence.
