Personal profile
I teach various security-related topics at undergraduate and postgraduate level, including security in software engineering, digital forensics, and human aspects of security. To date I have supervised 70+ postgraduate research projects to completion. My research focuses on all levels of cybersecurity from individual to national level. I'm an Associate Editor for the Journal of Intellectual Capital and Vice-Chair of IFIP Working Group 11.8, which focuses on information security education.

Research interests
My research focuses primarily on information and cybersecurity. This includes a broad range of topics ranging from technical implementations, to management, and behavioural factors. Individuals are often considered to be the weakest link in security and I have a particular interest in human factors in (also called behavioural) security. Current problems I’m investigating are how to motivate secure behaviours in individuals and organisations, and understanding resistance to security recommendations. I also have an interest in the related area of information privacy.
