Penetration testing entails attacking a system to identify and report insecurity, but doing so without harming the system nor encroaching on the dignity of those affected by it. To improve the interaction between penetration testers and their process... Read More about Ethical hazards and safeguards in penetration testing..

Available from: https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2016.97

Because human factors are a root cause of security breaches in many organisations, security awareness activities are often used to address problematic behaviours and improve security culture. Previous work has found that personas are useful for ident... Read More about Persona-driven information security awareness..

Available from: https://doi.org/10.14236/ewic/HCI2016.93

Specification models of critical infrastructure focus on parts of a larger environment. However, to consider the security of critical infrastructure systems, we need approaches for modelling the sum of these parts; these include people and activities...

Gulfs of expectation: eliciting and verifying differences in trust expectations using personas (2016)
Journal Article

Personas are a common tool used in Human Computer Interaction to represent the needs and expectations of a system's stakeholders, but they are also grounded in large amounts of qualitative data. Our aim is to make use of this data to anticipate the d... Read More about Gulfs of expectation: eliciting and verifying differences in trust expectations using personas.
