In this episode, we talk about:

• Why human factors is important when it comes to cybersecurity and why it’s still a relatively unexplored topic.
• The importance of communication and empathy in cybersecurity.
• Dr. Robinson’s research around low and medium vulnerabilities—and how their potential use in combination warrants additional attention.
• Dr. Robinson’s most recent research around “vulnerability chaining blindness” and why the words we use and a shared understanding are crucial for making progress in cybersecurity.

She is currently working on a PhD in Human Factors and research in blending psychology and cybersecurity.
