📢 Thank you to everyone who attended #EuroUSEC2025 🥳
Your presence and engagement helped make this event a real success!
We hope you left as inspired as we are to continue exploring the human and usability dimensions of security and privacy 🔐
@UniStrathclyde @uni_lu
📢Another piece of work will be presented tomorrow at #EuroUSEC2025.
“Between Privacy and Transparency: Communicating Credibility Assessments on Encrypted Platforms”
by Huiyun Tang, Björn Rohles, Yuwei CHUAI, Gabriele Lenzini and Anastasia Sergeeva
In a preregistered 2×2 online experiment (N=537), the study found that both content- and context-based cues improved decision-making. Communicating system certainty further helped users calibrate trust.
👀 Another exciting work will be presented at #EuroUSEC2025
“When Trust Overrides Caution: Investigating Spear Phishing in Personal Contexts Among Young and Older Adults”
Rhian Lukins, Neeranjan Chitare, Nalin Arachchilage, Lynne Coventry, James Nicholson
Are Passkeys the Key: Older adults preferred passkeys for usability but cited adoption concerns. Despite positive attitudes, they’d only use passkeys for important accounts due to hardware requirements and setup hassles. A missed opportunity given their poor password practices.
We hope everyone is as excited as we are for #EuroUSEC2025 later this week!
We'll hear about amazing work like:
"SoK: AI Support for Analyst Situation Awareness in Security Operation Centres"
Navodika Karunasingha, Mohan Baruwal Chhetri, Surya Nepal, Cecile Paris, Salil Kanhere
📢 Another fantastic piece of work we'll hear all about at #EuroUSEC2025:
"SOK: Cognitive Dissonance Theory in the Cybersecurity Domain"
by:
Karen Renaud, Paul van Schaik
The widespread activation of cognitive dissonance triggers rejection of cybersecurity advice that does not align with current practice. Understanding how and why can help us to alleviate such cognitive dissonance and thereby encourage adoption of secure behaviours.
👂We're excited to hear more about this study as part of our 'Organizational Cybersecurity Practices' Session at #EuroUSEC2025:
"Towards an Employee-Centric Framework of Cybersecurity"
by:
Alexandra von Preuschen, Roman Henke, Manpreet Kaur, Julian Nickel, Monika Schuhmacher
📢 More exciting work to look forward to next week at #EuroUSEC2025 👀
"Measuring and Benchmarking Incident Response Readiness"
Written by:
Montii A. and Dr. Priyadarsi Nanda
