ISR & HACS - Humans and Cyber Security research partnerships and alliances
Cate is Director of the Information Systems Research (ISR) team. ISR is a network of Systems researchers in the Business School, engaged in seven areas of research concentration. The majority of Cate's research is with partnerships and alliances to target specific aspects of human cyber-security and cyber-safety. ISR’s most prolific work to date has been with the Human Aspects of Cyber Security (HACS) team.
HACS is an established partnership with researchers from the Human and Social Modelling and Analysis team, National Security & Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Division (NSID), unit of the DST Group. HACS' first client was the Department of Defence, researching human vulnerability to phishing. This research has expanded to incorporate broader understandings of the effect of human behaviour on organisational information and cyber security, and to work with other federal and state government organisations. ISR and HACS have received over $200,000 funding since commencing research into human aspects of cyber security in 2010.
Secondary partnerships currently being developed by ISR's Information & Cyber Security & Safety team include a partnership with researchers the School of Education to investigate cyber-security and cyber-safety for children, and another with researchers from Humanities & Social Sciences to explore issues of cyber-security and cyber-safety for senior citizens, the aging and elderly. Future partnerships will broaden the research to other sectors of society to ensure a broad-scale and global approach to an increasingly critical distributed global problem.
