I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully completed my Master's degree with Distinction in War and Society, specializing in a dissertation on cybersecurity and the theories of war. It has been an incredible journey of research, learning, and growth, and I am grateful for all the support I have received along the way. My dissertation explored the intersection of cybersecurity and warfare theories focusing on how digital threats are reshaping traditional conceptions of conflict in the modern world. My thesis stated that aggressive and kinetically destructive cyberattacks should be viewed as an act of war and mode of warfare due to their contemporary weaponry equivalents and physical damage that can be caused. The thesis also evaluated the role played by more passive cyberattacks that map and direct future more aggressive assaults on a states cyberspace. It was a challenging yet rewarding experience, and I am proud of the work I have done. As I look ahead, I am eager to continue exploring this fascinating area of study and contribute to the growing field of cybersecurity and conflict analysis. Whether through academic research, policy-making, or strategy, I am passionate about understanding and addressing the evolving nature of security in our increasingly interconnected world. If anyone has opportunities or ideas related to cybersecurity, war studies, or related fields, I would love to connect and discuss how we can collaborate. Thank you again to everyone who has supported me during this academic journey. Onward to the next chapter! 🌍🔐💻 #WarAndSociety #Cybersecurity #TheoriesOfWar #MastersWithDistinction #FutureOpportunities #WarStudies #CyberConflict

In my research, I delve into the urgent need for a holistic approach to cybersecurity, given the increasingly sophisticated and pervasive landscape of cyber threats. This approach combines cybersecurity, cyber behavioral sciences, digital forensics, and predictive modeling, emphasizing the necessity for a comprehensive strategy. 🔒 Cyber Forensics Behavioral Analysis (CFBA) Model: Central to my study is the CFBA model, a promising development that integrates behavioral insights into technical cybersecurity frameworks. This approach has the potential to significantly improve identification, prevention, and response strategies against cyber threats, particularly those originating from Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). 🤖 Advanced Predictive Models and Machine Learning: I underscore the vital role of advanced predictive models and machine learning in recognizing and counteracting cyber threats. By championing interdisciplinary strategies that blend cyberpsychology, digital forensics, and cybersecurity, I aim to demonstrate the value of collaboration in moving beyond traditional boundaries. This study not only delves into psychological underpinnings but also analyzes network behavior, combining Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT), threat intelligence, and threat databases to assign a "behavioral score" to each threat. This innovative approach quantifies the risk associated with different cyber threats, offering a clearer perspective on cybersecurity. 📊 Cyber Behavioral Forensics Matrix (CBFM): I present a comprehensive framework, the CBFM, designed to augment cybersecurity measures by fusing insights from behavioral sciences with technical forensics. This framework highlights the importance of adaptability and a proactive approach in cybersecurity, promoting a multidisciplinary methodology to deepen our understanding and effectively neutralize dynamic threats in the digital era. 🔍 Unified Cybersecurity Strategy: I advocate for a unified cybersecurity strategy that blends behavioral insights with predictive modeling and digital forensics to efficiently tackle the complex dimensions of cyber threats. I call for continued research and cross-disciplinary cooperation to forge new solutions and propel forward the domain of forensic cyberpsychology, a field that applies psychological principles to understand and counteract cyber threats, within the cybersecurity landscape. https://lnkd.in/ehWQfY7n #ForensicCyberpsychology #Cyberpsychology #Cybersecurity #DigitalForensics #CyberBehavioralSciences #CFBA #CFBM #PredictiveModeling #InterdisciplinaryResearch

Let’s kick off Women’s History Month by celebrating the remarkable achivements of women pioneers in Cybersecurity. 1. Ada Lovelace: In 1843, Ada Lovelace who was only 19 years old at the time and had no formal training in computer science wrote what is considered to be one of history’s first computer programs. This program helped Babbage who she worked with as an assistant design a machine called the Analytical Engine—a computer designed to run other programs automatically. Her work with Babbage led her to become one of cybersecurity’s most important pioneers. 2. Dorothy Denning: Known for her lattice-based access control (LBAC), Intrusion detection system (IDS) and other cybersecurity innovations in cryptography, computer security, and information warfare. In 1983, she became one of only two women to be elected as Fellows of the National Academy of Engineering. 3. Valerie Thomas: Valerie Thomas led NASA’s cybersecurity program from 1989 to 1993, making her one of few women with a leadership role in cybersecurity at that time. In that role, she helped develop protocols for NASA computers and became an advocate for women interested in cybersecurity careers. She passed away in 2016 after a battle with cancer. To honor her contributions to cybersecurity, Congress awarded her posthumously with the Department of Commerce Gold Medal Award in 2017. These women, among many others, have played pivotal roles in advancing cybersecurity research, technology, and policy, paving the way for future generations of women in the field. If you had the opportunity of meeting any of these women today, what would you say to them? Happy New Month! #WomensMonth #InspireInclusion #WomeninTech #WomeninCybersecurity #CyfendryWoman #CyfendryAcademy #Her #march #womenhistorymonth2024

🎉 Thrilled to announce that our conference paper on leveraging the Cognitive Continuum Theory (CCT) in The Baldwin School "Cybersecurity and Ethical Hacking" class has been accepted! The paper will be included in the "Cybersecurity Education" track of the European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ECCWS). Through a case-study analysis of 104 tasks across six activities, our study explores how various task characteristics induce CCT's diverse cognitive modes—Analytical, Quasi-Rational, and Intuitive Cognition. Analytical Cognition emphasizes in-depth analysis, Intuitive Cognition leans on intuition, and Quasi-Rational Cognition blends both approaches. By tailoring cybersecurity class activities to engage these cognitive modes, we aim to equip students with the nuanced decision-making skills needed for the complex cybersecurity landscape. This research, co-authored with Addison Lilholt and Emily Woodward, not only sheds light on instructional strategies that span across cognitive modes but also establishes a link with school library instruction, focusing on information behavior crucial for completing cybersecurity tasks. #CybersecurityEducation #CognitiveContinuumTheory 📸 Image Credit: Illankoon, P., Tretten, P. and Kumar, U., 2019.
