Royal Holloway University of London adopts my book for their MSc Information Security programme

One of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities has selected the second edition of The Psychology of Information Security to be included in their flagship Information Security programme as part of their ongoing collaboration with industry professionals.

“We incorporated The Psychology of Information Security into our MSc in Information Security, where it has become part of the essential reading for the Human Aspects of Security and Privacy module. Over time, it has proven to be a valuable anchor text within the curriculum, helping to frame discussions around the human dimensions of cybersecurity in a structured and coherent way.

Students consistently appreciate the perspectives it offers, particularly its ability to bridge academic research with real-world industry practice. It not only provides a clear roadmap through a complex and wide-ranging topic, but also encourages a broad understanding of the psychological principles underpinning everyday security challenges.”

Excited that my book just hit #1 on Amazon’s bestseller list. Thank you to everyone who read, recommended, reviewed and supported this project – I couldn’t have done it without you. If you’ve read it, I’d love to hear what resonated most.

If you haven’t read it – it’s currently on offer in some Amazon stores, so get your 23% discount while you can!

And yes – it’s technically #1 in the very specific category, which is slightly amusing… I suspect it’s a hit with late-night cyber security enthusiasts rather than beach readers!

Scenario analysis in cyber security: building resilience

Resilience matrix, adapted from Burnard, Bhamra & Tsinopoulos (2018, p. 357).

Scenario analysis is a powerful tool to enhance strategic thinking and strategic responses. It aims to examine how our environment might play out in the future and can help organisations ask the right questions, reduce biases and prepare for the unexpected.

What are scenarios? Simply put, these are short explanatory stories with an attention- grabbing and easy-to-remember title. They define plausible futures and often based on trends and uncertainties.

Sustainable leadership in an accelerating world

I recently completed a masterclass on embedding sustainable leadership in organisations. The best part was the interactive simulation to identify the trade-offs necessary to achieve a balanced approach to decision making for both immediate business goals and long-term sustainability.
