About Cybersecurity: Is Fear Counterproductive?

Cybersecurity: Is Fear Counterproductive?

It's safe to say we all want to improve our cybersecurity from a personal, organizational, and national security perspective. However, is the use of fear and other negative emotions the most effective and ethical way to accomplish this goal? Professor Marc J. Dupuis, Ph.D., is a cybersecurity researcher focused on the human factors of cybersecurity and the privacy behaviors of individuals. Dr. Dupuis will engage in a dialogue on what we can do to stay safe at home and beyond when using the internet.  

Marc J. Dupuis, Ph.D., is an associate professor within the Computing and Software Systems division at the University of Washington Bothell where he also serves as the graduate program coordinator. Dr. Dupuis earned a Ph.D. in information science at the University of Washington with an emphasis on cybersecurity, and prior to that earned an M.S. in information science and a Master of Public Administration (MPA) from the University of Washington, as well as an M.A. in political science at Western Washington University.

It's like being back in the classroom - except this time you get to settle into comfortable seats and enjoy a drink or two with dinner while you listen and learn.
