The Psychology of Cybersecurity with Dana LaFon

Join Dana LaFon, the highest ranking U.S. intelligence official in cyberpsychology and influence principles, for a fireside chat sponsored by the Stamford Partnership at UConn's GenRe Auditorium.

Dana S. LaFon most recently served as chief and founder of the National Security Agency’s Office of Operational Psychology, which is responsible for scaling psychologically based insights for whole-of-government operations to counter some of the most egregious national security threats. She has deep expertise in remote psychological assessment, influence psychology, and malign influence campaigns. Dr. LaFon’s twenty-five years of experience in multiple fields (including intelligence, psychology, graduate instruction, and systems analysis), settings (including the U.S. government, academia, state and local agencies, and private industry), and foreign partnerships have enabled her to apply a broad perspective to a wide array of national security issues and foreign policy topics. She was also the National Intelligence Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
