Dr. Arun Vishwanath studies the "people problem" of cyber security. His research focuses on improving individual, organizational, and national resilience to cyber attacks by focusing on the weakest links in cyber security—all of us Internet users. His particular interest is in understanding why organizational insiders willingly exfiltrate sensitive organizational data; why people become unintentional insiders by falling prey to social engineering attacks that come-in through email and social media; and on ways we can harness this understanding to secure cyber space. He has written and published over two-dozen peer-reviewed articles on technology users and cyber security issues and my research has been presented to principals at national security and law enforcement agencies around the world. He is a frequent commentator on cyber security issues in CNN and other major national and international news outlets.
