People and organizations often fail to adopt and effectively use best practices and technologies for a variety of reasons, including poor awareness, lack of knowledge/skill, and personal biases. We are conducting research to better understand cybersecurity adoption factors and the role of cybersecurity advocates (security professionals who promote and educate people about security best practices) in facilitating adoption.
Current/recent projects:
Security and Privacy: authentication, behavior, general security & privacy, privacy, security programs & operations, usability
Technologies: email
Applications: cybersecurity education, cybersecurity workforce, Internet of Things
