Dear Colleagues:

First, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. You
will be happy to learn that the *Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series* is
in its sixth month, has produced 15 episodes, with over a thousand
downloads.

In Episode 15, renowned authority in human-technology interactions and
*Presidential
appointee Prof. Missy Cummings of Duke University*, speaks to the
importance of understanding human motivation and behavior to proactively
predict and detect deception. In a very candid and engaging conversation,
Prof. Cummings expressed her concern about cybersecurity as a field not
receiving the necessary scientific recognition and support. "Cybersecurity
is not like changing the oil of your car, it is its own science," she said
while discussing the various aspects of cybersecurity knowledge creation
and dissemination. She also talks about her class on the Human Element in
Cybersecurity and how she draws from various scientific knowledge bases
(such as cognitive science, systems theory, game theory, and queuing
theory) to provide a rich learning experience.
