Behavioural Change in Cybersecurity, with Dan Ariely
Episode 9
February 27, 2018
Episode Outline:
Understanding behavioural change is a crucial aspect of better understanding the human factor. If we hope to influence behaviour then we need to better understand human behaviours, decision-making and motivations. The leading expert in this today is Dan Ariely and we are thrilled to have him as a guest on the podcast. Behavioural change is a large part of the work we have to do when it comes to improving security outcomes, and the work by leading thinkers such as Dan is really helping to pave the way.
Dan Ariely was recently voted as the second most influential psychologist in the world. He is a professor of psychology and behavioural economics at Duke University and a founding member of the Center for Advanced Hindsight. He is the author of the bestsellers Predictably Irrational, The Upside of Irrationality, and The Honest Truth About Dishonesty – as well as the TED Book Payoff: The Hidden Logic that Shapes Our Motivations. Through his research and his (often amusing and unorthodox) experiments, he questions the forces that influence human behavior and the irrational ways in which we often all behave.
