Over the past 15 years, she has been researching the human-centred aspects of security, privacy, identity and trust.
Research interests: how we design and implement innovative technologies that are fit for purpose, value for money, and improve productivity and well-being of individuals and society.
Angela's full research portrait can be found here: http://sec.cs.ucl.ac.uk/ace_csr/members/angelas_research_portrait/
Angela discusses some fascinating topics with us based on research she has done into things like:
- Analyzing employee behaviors for security environments...
- The use of positive reinforcement over shame and fear....
- How to make usable security...
- How to enforce security policies....
- And how all this fits into her being a psychologist?
All of her research can be found here: http://sec.cs.ucl.ac.uk/people/m_angela_sasse/angelas_publication_list/
Angela recommended a book that took us a bit to find, Codes of the Underworld by Diego Gambetta
