Work Practices of Cyber Security Professionals

[Muhammad Adnan <m.adnan1 () hotmail com>]

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I am a university researcher who is investigating the development of new,
usable tools that will improve the work practices of cyber security
professionals. As a first step to achieve this goal, I am undertaking a survey
to gain an in-depth understanding of the day-to-day activities of cyber
security professionals. The targeted participants for this survey are those who
perform security related activities as a part of their job (e.g. security
analysts, network administrators, penetration testers).

 

I would be very grateful if you could spare some time and complete this short
survey for me. It can be accessed at the following link:

For more information about the survey, please carry on reading.

 

- Purpose of the research: The main aim of this research is to improve the work
practices of cyber security professionals, through developing new and usable
tools. This survey will serve as the first step towards achieving this goal, by
providing a deeper and more complete understanding about the day-to-day
activities of cyber security professionals.

 

- Time required: The survey will take approximately 12 minutes to complete.

research will hopefully benefit the community of cyber security professionals
as a whole, through the development of new and usable tools.
