Gulet Barre.

Research with a practical perspective.

I am a PhD researcher, lecturer and information security professional working at the intersection of information security management, organisational governance and human decision-making.

My doctoral research examines how cognitive biases, psychological distance and risk communication influence cybersecurity decisions at board level. I am particularly interested in how CISOs communicate complex risks to executives, and how those conversations shape organisational priorities and action.

Alongside my research, I teach information security and supervise graduate research. I serve on the Review Board of ISACA Netherlands and contribute to academic and professional discussions on information security governance.
