Anthony Vance

I arrived in Oulu, Finland today, where I will be researching for the next three months with Mikko Siponen of the University of Oulu. I’ll be studying IT security policy compliance from the perspective of criminological theory, one of my primary research interests.

I successfully defended my PhD dissertation today, completing my PhD three years since I entered the CIS program at Georgia State University in Fall 2005. My dissertation is titled, “Trusting IT Artifacts: How Trust Affects Our Use of Technology”.
