Humans + Technology Overview
Technology is a human enterprise, and advanced and emerging technologies are the product of human decision-making which affect human lives.
Cybersecurity is a human issue that involves technology, not a technology problem to be solved technically
Advising companies that develop and deliver human-centered technologies in the psychology of artificial intelligence, synthetic cognition and affective computing
Ensuring technologies that assume decision-making functions in human affairs are ethically and socially responsible by-design
We deliver our expertise across three main areas:
Cybersecurity—providing human factor expertise in architecting and integrating psycho-socially sophisticated cybersecurity programs and robust awareness, detection, mitigation, and defense solutions.
Human-Centered Technologies—advising technology leaders in the psychology of artificial intelligence, synthetic cognition and affective computing: applications and services that assess, surveil, predict, manage and emulate human thought, emotion, decision-making and behavior.
Ethical + Responsible Technologies—specialist assistance in the complex psycho-social and ethical risks and responsibilities of technologies designed to assume unsupervised autonomous decision-making functions in human affairs.

Unlocking your cyber security awareness program with insights from behavioural science
One of the most common misnomers is that there is a direct link between awareness and behaviour.

What people are aware of can be situational, environmental; it can also be internal. What’s required to create behaviour change is not solely expanding the field of awareness.

AI ≠ Brain
I hereby launch a formal protest against all the bullsh#t iconography equating AI with the human brain. An entire generation is coming of age brain-washed by an emoji-based propaganda campaign signifying that artificial intelligence, machine cognition and the human brain are interchangeably synonymous. NO! NO! NO!
