In an era where big data, machine learning algorithms, and simulations are used to understand cyberattacks and 
cybersecurity, is there room for qualitative or 'thick' data? This talk shares a social scientist’s perspective on the 
relevance of thick data in understanding the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of adversarial behavior, movement, decision-making, 
adaptation to disruptions, and group dynamics. More specifically, it highlights potential for symbiotic relationships 
between social science methodologies, such as observations and focus groups, and technical methodologies, such as time 
series analysis, social network analysis, and machine learning and prediction. The talk will then share how social 
science students must be trained via discipline-specific education to effectively engage in the cybersecurity 
discourse. It details specific educational efforts via social engineering course projects and capture-the-flag 
competitions that not only cater to social science students, but also technical students, and how these efforts help 
break silos to foster multidisciplinary dialog.


Speaker Bio: Dr. Aunshul Rege is an Associate Professor with the Department of Criminal Justice. She is the Director of 
the 
CARE<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.temple.edu%2Fcare%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C30e5ba87e0a24d35951d08d8cc423bc1%7Cdd4b037fe626495db0170cc0f7dddb37%7C0%7C0%7C637483932155062489%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=SzH%2FxML9I4TV%2BKXmMvVGze0xWsFR3Pea1NfAQjFIKwE%3D&reserved=0>
 (Cybersecurity in Application, Research, and Education) Lab, which focuses on the human and social aspects of 
cyberattacks and cybersecurity. Dr. Rege is the recipient of numerous National Science Foundation grants, including the 
prestigious NSF CAREER award. Her research examines adversarial decision-making, adaptation and movement, and she has 
worked with Computer Scientists and Engineers in academia, industry and government. Dr. Rege and her team at the CARE 
Lab have generated a critical infrastructure ransomware incident dataset, which maps to the MITRE ATT&CK framework and 
is highly requested by organizations, governments, academics, and students from all over the world. Dr. Rege is also 
passionate about cybersecurity education and has designed several experiential social engineering learning projects, 
which have been mapped to the NICE cybersecurity workforce framework and downloaded worldwide by educators and 
businesses. A month ago, she hosted a purely social engineering capture the flag competition at Temple University, 
which featured professional social engineers as judges and six undergraduate student teams. This competition is the 
first cybersecurity capture-the-flag competition to emphasize the human factor that is grounded in the social sciences. 
Dr. Rege has received a new NSF education grant, which will allow her to pursue this endeavor starting 2021. Not only 
has Dr. Rege's work been published in well-regarded journals and peer-reviewed conference proceedings, but her efforts 
have also been recognized in highly regarded cybersecurity outlets like Security Week, Bleeping Computer, and Dark 
Reading. She hopes to continue to make the social sciences more mainstream and embedded in the cybersecurity discourse.
