SOCIETAL IMPACT STATEMENT

• Research– My current research focusing on cybersecurity has significant societal impact. I am collaborating with a diverse team of academics from engineering, mathematics, and business on cybersecurity research in domains such as manufacturing, healthcare, technology management, and cyber-physical systems. The research questions addressed in my studies have strategic implications for organizations, and cybersecurity policy implications for nation states.
• Teaching– I teach cybersecurity for managers, a course that covers cybersecurity policy, essential cybersecurity controls, and cybersecurity risk assessment. Cybersecurity management, for legal and strategic reasons, is now an important managerial function. This course helps address the global gap between supply and demand of cybersecurity professionals. It prepares future practitioners to manage cybersecurity in their organizations and assume leadership roles in their organizations and societies to spread cybersecurity understanding.
