COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
The Cyber Ways Podcast
Hosted by Dr. Craig Van Slyke and Dr. Tom Stafford, renowned computer information systems faculty members, The Cyber Ways Podcast aims to translate academic cyber security research into practical and real-world application. With a focus on behavioral aspects of cyber security, the two interview top academic researchers to discover how their research can be put into practice by cyber security professionals. Occasionally, they touch on related topics, such as information privacy and surveillance. Each episode discusses one published, peer-reviewed article to reveal the practical implications of the research.
The Cyber Ways Podcast is funded through a Just Business grant, made possible through the generosity of donors to the Louisiana Tech University College of Business.
