Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a university researcher who is investigating the development of new, usable tools that will improve the work practices of cyber security professionals. As a first step to achieve this goal, I am undertaking a survey to gain an in-depth understanding of the day-to-day activities of cyber security professionals. The targeted participants for this survey are those who perform security related activities as a part of their job (e.g. security analysts, network administrators, systems administrators, etc.).

I would be very grateful if you could spare some time and complete this short (approx. 10-15 minutes) survey for me. It can be accessed at the following link:

If you have questions or concerns about this research, please contact me (Muhammad.Adnan@gcu.ac.uk) or my Ph.D. supervisor Dr. Mike Just (Mike.Just@gcu.ac.uk), both at the Interactive and Trustworthy Technologies research group (http://www.ittgroup.org/), Glasgow Caledonian University, UK.

Kind regards,
Adnan
