About me
Dr. Rick van der Kleij is an Industrial/Organizational (I/O) psychologist and human factors specialist with an interest in cybersecurity. Human factors is a sub-discipline of psychology that links human behavior to engineering and elements of computer science to develop a holistic approach to risk. In his opinion, in ensuring cybersecurity, organizations must take on a socio-technical or human-centered cybersecurity viewpoint. Human-centered cybersecurity starts with understanding humans and their interaction with technologies, controls and data. By discovering how and when humans 'touch' data throughout the working day, organizations can uncover the circumstances where psychological-related vulnerabilities may lead to security incidents. Rick works as a professor at Avans University of Applied Sciences and as a senior cybersecurity researcher and consultant at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO). Rick’s lines of work have been described in more than 100 articles, technical reports, and book chapters, including several peer-reviewed high-impact articles in Computers & Security.
