Humans as the solution to information security with Dr. Karen Renaud
Description
Security professionals often treat users as a major problem with securing information assets. But what if we could view humans as the SOLUTIONS? Users aren't the enemy of security professionals and they shouldn't be treated as such. Our guest, Dr. Karen Renaud of Strathclyde University in Glasgow, Scotland, joins us to talk about the importance of treating users as allies, not the enemy, building a culture of security that focuses on successes, encourages learning, and builds resilience.
Many of her ideas are captured in her 2019 paper:
Zimmermann, V., & Renaud, K. (2019). Moving from a ‘human-as-problem” to a ‘human-as-solution” cybersecurity mindset. International Journal of Human-Computer Studies, 131, 169-187.
