Dr. Emily Collins

Research Associate

CybSafe’s Oz Alashe and Dr. John Blythe are joined by Dr. Emily Collins of the University of Bath. In this interview, Oz and Dr. John delve into Dr. Emily’s research interests, which revolve around uncovering simple ways to get people to behave more securely online. Join this discussion to find out why security so often doesn’t work, why the fact that people are involved in the majority of breaches doesn’t necessarily mean they’re to blame for the majority of breaches and how to change people’s behaviour for the better.
