Biography/ Background
I am currently a Senior Research Fellow and Information Security Consultant in the Adelaide Business School’s Human Aspects of Cyber Security (HACS) research group. Although I have been consulting, teaching and researching information security for many years, my time with HACS has been focussed primarily on human factors research relating to the behaviour of digital-device users. I am also on the board of the IFIP International Symposium on Human Aspects of Information Security & Assurance (HAISA) having hosted this conference in Adelaide in November, 2017. I am currently a Board Member of the Adelaide Chapter of ISACA and have the certifications CISA, CISM, CGEIT and CRISC.
