Discover the forces shaping your financial data's safety as we sit down with the eminent Jake Lee Jaeung, the Clifford Ray King Endowed Professor of Information Systems. In a landscape where cybercriminals lurk at every digital corner, we dissect how a blend of routine activity theory and practical cybersecurity can alter the terrain to our advantage. Together, we plunge into Jake's rigorous study with 461 financial institution employees and unravel the factors that skew risk perception and the likelihood of data breaches.
With Jake's expertise, we peel back the layers of data security, challenging the conventional wisdom that greater transparency equals higher risk. This episode illuminates how the value of information, the effectiveness of guardians, and the strategic reduction of data availability can form a robust shield against unauthorized access. We also navigate the nuanced chess game of social engineering defenses, providing valuable insights and tangible actions that can be applied across industries to shield your organization's most precious assets from the prying eyes of the digital underworld.Intro audio for the Cyber Ways Podcast

Are you ready to shift your perspective on cybersecurity? We've got Dr. Karen Renaud, the general chair of Dewald Roode Workshop (DRW) this year and a renowned figure in information security research, to guide us on this fascinating journey. We'll be dissecting the paradigm-shifting presentations, lively debates and thought-provoking discussions from the workshop, with a special focus on Basie von Solms' revolutionary thoughts on the future of cybersecurity.
Personality Facets and Behavior: Security Decisions under Competing Priorities, Sanjay Goel, Jingyi Huang, Alan Dennis, Kevin WilliamsAn Examination of How Security-Related Stress, Burnout, and Accountability Design Features Affect Security Operations Decisions, Mary Grace Kozuch, Adam Hooker, Philip Menard, Tien N Nguyen, Raymond ChooBosses Behaving Badly: Managers Committing Computer Abuse, Laura AmoEncouraging Peer Reporting of Information Security Wrongdoings: A Normative Ethics Perspective, Reza Mousavi, Adel Yazdanmehr, Jingguo Wang, Fereshteh GhahramaniImpact of Cyber Hygiene Behavior on Target Suitability using Dual Systems Embedded Dual Attitudes Model, Harsh Parekh, Andrew SchwarzThe Blend of Human Cognition and AI Automation: What Will ChatGPT Do to the Cybersecurity Landscape?, Hwee-Joo Kam, Chen Zhong, Hong Liu, Allen Johnston
Looking to understand why people often disregard security procedures? Or how personality traits can impact the security decisions we make? Our discussion reveals that cautiousness, morality, and self-consciousness can positively affect security decisions, but increasing security knowledge doesn't always correlate with safer decisions. As we navigate through the papers, we'll also investigate how AI-enhanced security systems could alleviate user stress and transform the way we approach security training.
We also tackle an under-discussed issue in the cybersecurity sphere: the misuse of system access and the potential for computer abuse by managers. With their unique position of trust and autonomy, could managers be the new insider threat to watch out for? We'll also delve into the role of habits in cyber hygiene, the promises and perils of AI in the field, and how these insights can be applied in the workplace. Join us for this enlightening discussion -- it's an episode you won't want to miss!

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:

When it comes to security controls and communications, more may be less. More complex security requirements, increased security communication, and complex security policies may actually lead to less secure end-user behaviors. Why? Security fatigue -- users simply feel worn out by having to deal with information security. In this episode of Cyber Ways, Dr. John D’Arcy of the University of Delaware joins us to discuss his research (conducted with Alec Cram of the University of Waterloo, and Jeffrey Proudfoot of Bentley University) on the causes, symptoms, and consequences of security fatigue.

Every day we are bombarded with security warnings that all look more-or-less the same. Over time, we tend to tune out these warnings through a process called habituation. In this episode of Cyber Ways, we discuss this problem and how to address it with Dr. Anthony (Tony) Vance of Virginia Tech.
Dr. Vance and his colleagues have conducted fascinating research using sophisticated technologies including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and eye tracking to gain an understanding of the extent of the habituation to warnings problem. They also demonstrate how changing the look of warnings can reduce habituation. Their research shows strong results, and has clear implications for security professionals.

Many studies of cyber security behavior treat behaviors as the result of conscious thought. But, most behaviors are automatic and occur without any conscious deliberation of the benefits and risks of the behavior. Psychologists call this automatic thinking System 1 cognition as opposed to the more deliberative System 2 cognition. Unfortunately, System 1 thinking has rarely been studied in the context of security behaviors. In this episode of Cyber Ways, we talk with Dr. Alan Dennis about his groundbreaking research on the role of automatic thinking in cyber security.
Dr. Dennis is Professor of Information Systems and John T. Chambers Chair of Internet Systems at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. Dr. Dennis has written over 150 journal articles, with many of those published in top journals. He is Past President of the Association for Information Systems and also served as Vice President for Conferences. His many contributions to the field of information systems were recognized in 2012 when he was named a Fellow of the Association for Information Systems. In addition to his research and teaching, Dr. Dennis has been involved in several technology startups, including his current venture, Wisdom Springboard, which develops educational video games to help students learn analytics and cybersecurity.
