DONALD BREN SCHOOL OF INFORMATION & COMPUTER SCIENCES
UCI
WHY: Says human factor tops for cyber dangers; people give up privacy, although they never really were given a choice to agree.
IN THE NEWS: Runs highly ranked UCI information and computer sciences school. Says job market is very positive, though the prospects are not quite as strong as they were a couple of years ago.
NOTABLE: Also among the leaders of UCI’s Cybersecurity Policy & Research Institute (CPRI), a UCI program that pulls together 80 experts from academia, businesses, governments and civil liberties.
QUOTABLE: “We all go, and we click on the boxes, and we agree with who knows what. And before we know it, our data is basically up for grabs.”
