Over the past few years, Dr Thomson has presented numerous papers at both national and international conferences. The most recent of which was a paper entitled: Combating Information Security Apathy by Encouraging Prosocial Organisational Behaviour at the Human Aspects of Information Security and Assurance (HAISA) Symposium in London in 2011 and the paper was subsequently published in a special edition of Information Management and Computer Security in 2012. Dr Thomson’s current research includes information security, with an emphasis on culture and education. The primary research is looking at the use of wellestablished learning tools (for e.g. the Cisco Networking Academy programme) for potential use in information security education, as well as understanding organisational behaviour in an attempt to cultivate an information security corporate culture. Future research goals will continue to include information security research and, in addition, a large part of the research in future will incorporate Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) research. 15
