Celebrating the successful Trust in Cyber Security Roundtable!

In early September 2022, Dr Sophie Vivian and Dr Susanne Lloyd-Jones of the Hub's Cyber Trust Project Stream organised a closed round table event to support their ongoing research activities. 

The Cyber Trust Project Stream critically analyses trust and trustworthiness in cyber security contexts from an interdisciplinary perspective. The stream's objective is to develop a practice and policy toolset that seeks to define and conceptualise trust and trustworthiness with more precision to allow for operational success.

This round table event was coordinated to inform the Hub's research into this area and further  discussion on trust in cyber security and what it means from a practical and day to day business perspective. The roundtable covered:

• The inconsistent roles that trust is playing in cyber security

• How trust can be misleading and obscure other more accurate explanations, solutions, and conclusions

• Whether cyber security practitioners and policy makers are alert to the potential legal, regulatory and security issues of using trust in contradictory ways

• Enhancing the predictive capability of cyber security

The event was a success, leading to many new insights gained from this discussion, which will influence and shape the next stage of research for The Cyber Trust Project. Congratulations to both Sophie and Susanne on this successful event and their exciting new research to come.
