Penetration testers are required to attack systems to evaluate their security, but without engaging in unethical behaviour while doing so. Despite work on hacker values and studies into security practice, there is little literature devoted to the eth... Read More about Ethical dilemmas and dimensions in penetration testing..

This paper argues the need for considering mitigating circumstances in cybercrime. Mitigating circumstances are conditions which moderate the culpability of an offender of a committed offence. Our argument is based on several observations. The cybers... Read More about Mitigating circumstances in cybercrime: a position paper..

The social psychology of cybersecurity. (2015)

As the fields of HCI, cybersecurity and psychology continue to grow and diversify, there is greater overlap between these areas and new opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration. This paper argues for a focus specifically on the role of socia... Read More about The social psychology of cybersecurity..

Engaging stakeholders in security design: an assumption-driven approach. (2014)
Conference Proceeding
FAILY, S. 2014. Engaging stakeholders in security design: an assumption-driven approach. In Clarke, N.L. and Furnell, S.M. (eds.) Proceedings of the 8th International symposium on human aspects of information security and assurance (HAISA 2014), 8-9 July 2014, Plymouth, UK. Plymouth: Plymouth University, pages 21-29.

System stakeholders fail to engage with security until comparatively late in the design and development process. User Experience artefacts like personas and scenarios create this engagement, but creating and contextualising them is difficult without...
