Let’s Talk About Psybersecurity With Dr. Ryan Louie

Let’s talk about Psybersecurity, with Dr. Ryan Louie

Guest: Ryan K. Louie, M.D., Ph.D.  Psychiatrist

Host: Marco Ciappelli

It seems like three weeks have been gone by since RSA Conference in San Francisco ended, and that is because it has been three weeks! We didn’t take a vacation or laze around after that busy week; on the contrary, we worked even harder than usual. Most of all because it was such a good event for ITSPmagazine that we had to produce all the content we filmed and recorded, write some emails, articles, ransom notes, follow up with potential sponsors and podcast guests, and keep the relationships going with all the new friends we made there.

I also had to spend quite some time thinking about how this year’s event felt different, more fulfilling from a human perspective and more in line with my vision of technology — and therefore cybersecurity — adopting a multidisciplinary approach and becoming one with society. This podcast is about this change and it is with one of those new friends. His name is Ryan Louie, he is a psychiatric doctor and he specializes in mental health in the cybersecurity profession and the various ways that technology affects people in our cyber society.

In today’s conversation we talk about the fact that there are no doubts that technology has become an essential part of our society as a whole and our everyday life as individuals, and because of this it is obvious that the repercussions that it has on our psychology is a factor we need to take into consideration when discussing topics at the intersection of IT Security and Society. It is not by accident that Dr. Louie uses the term “Psybersecurity” when technology, security and safety cross the boundaries and become an integral part of our perception of human security. We can pretend that it is not happening yet and that it is still in the sci-fi realm, but as with many other phenomena, whether we ignore it or not, it doesn’t change the fact that it has an an impact on us.
