Kelsy Luengen is a Security Influencer at SEEK and a doctoral researcher at the University of Queensland. In her capacity as a Security Influencer, Kelsy develops evidence-based Security Culture campaigns and training materials to promote a strong security mindset, encourage an inclusive security culture, and decrease the risk of victimization across the business. Her doctoral research is in cybercrime victimisation and uses a randomised control design to explore the effectiveness of different online nudges to improve defensibility against email-based cyberthreats. Her research uses eye-tracking technology to better understand the extent to which users of internet enabled devices recognise cyber threats, their response to perceived threats, and their use of protective behaviours to mitigate potential harms.

Prior to a career in security, Kelsy worked as an evidence-based criminological researcher with her main work focusing on how to increase trust in the police to increase legislative compliance and voluntary reporting. Kelsy is a strong advocate for inclusivity and diversity in the workplace, and happily adds to the security body of knowledge by sharing her research at conferences and via online publications.
