Research interest
In her current research, Alexandra aims to challenge the common belief of humans as „the weakest link“ in organizational cybersecurity and emphasizes viewing them as opportunities. Acknowledging the evolving cyber threat landscape and the limitations of solely technical measures, her dissertation addresses the need to view humans as opportunities rather than risks. By exploring factors such as perceptions, attitudes, and emotions towards cybersecurity (and privacy), her research aims to create a positive approach, understanding human factors to enhance capabilities and contribute to more resilient human capabilities in cyber defense.
