Alex Cadzow, Cadzow Communications Consulting - - Member of the Programme Committee
Alex's aim is to take an active role, through research and education, to bridge the gap between technology and the human user. This has been built up through a background in Anthropology and Forensic science and latterly into the human aspects of cybersecurity. His role in Cadzow Communications Consulting (C3L) as researcher and co-developer of contributions to the company’s work in standards and other projects. While his background may seem an unlikely fit to cybersecurity which is often technology focused in systems engineering approach it is vital to equally address and integrate these three key elements: hardware, software and human systems integration. Therefore, the human element is something that integration and systems engineering processes must address. The definition of “system” used by NASA is inclusive; i.e., a system is “the combination of elements that function together to produce the capability required to meet a need. The elements include all hardware, software, equipment, facilities, personnel, processes and procedures needed for this purpose
