Episode 33: Dr. Eugene Spafford, FIRSTCON23 Speaker, Purdue University; & Dr. Pattie Spafford

In this episode, the FIRST Podcasters interview FIRSTCON23 speaker, Dr. Eugene Spafford and his partner, Dr. Pattie Spafford. Together they discuss their recently published book, “Cybersecurity Myths and Misconceptions” co-authored by Leigh Metcalf, and Josiah Dykstra. They touch on the importance of communication and clear terminology that surpasses cultural barriers. Cybersecurity is people-centric and yet so much has been done by tech specialists without the end user in mind, the book proposes steps to clear language with metaphoric illustrations by Pattie.
