About Louise

Louise has been working in Security Awareness and Culture since 2013, for 3 different industries and came from a network and security engineering background before that.

She is fascinated by people and their motivations (the good AND the bad guys), and believes we need to understand our audience and their priorities and values, and employ strategies rooted in psychology and behavioural economics to provide the best outcomes.

From the beginning, she has been unconvinced by the effectiveness of tick box’ exercises and has tried to avoid the traditional off-the-shelf options, preferring approaches more akin to creative and marketing campaigns and looking to these areas to help inform ways to collect feedback and engagement metrics.

She’s currently looking at the future of their workforce and ways of working, and thinking about how that could change the way they approach security culture in years to come.
