Cyberpsychology First Responders Toolkit

About the Company

Alpha Echo is a cybersecurity consultancy specialising in Cyberworthiness and Defence consulting. We have a multidisciplinary approach to cybersecurity, incorporating a variety of security specialists, intelligence analysts, behavioural scientists, educators, and engineers. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to take a holistic approach to cybersecurity.

Project Objective

This project aims to create a cyberpsychology toolkit by combining evidence-based practice (in social, clinical, organisational, and cognitive fields) with cybersecurity incident response, malicious insiders, and organisational governance.

The foreseeable deliverables of this project include a literature review of related concepts, the development of educational materials, the development and testing of the toolkit, and the development of measures to assist with building cyber-resilience.

Project Tasks

The intern will undertake a range of tasks, which may include a literature review, writing research reports, developing education material, designing briefs, and developing surveys/assessment tools. The intern may also contribute to other current projects relevant to their skill set, such as behavioural insights or cybersecurity technical development.

Intern Skills

The intern should have skills in literature review, knowledge of mental health principles, and an understanding of cybersecurity and human performance. The intern should also have project management skills, presentation skills, data analysis skills and be able to communicate effectively. Additionally, specific knowledge of the topic (cybersecurity/psychology), and knowledge of personality, attitudes and behaviours is desirable for the role.

The intern should be a strong communicator, able to work independently and collaboratively, able to adjust as work may change rapidly, and have value for continual learning.
