  • He has presented groundbreaking research at NASA-Goddard, ISACA, CyberWyoming, and TEDx events, applying his findings in over 220 organizations worldwide.

  • Recipient of the AFCEA 40 Under 40 Award for outstanding contributions in STEM through innovation, leadership, and research impact.

    • An award-winning educator, entrepreneur, speaker, and cybersecurity researcher, Dr. Erik Huffman is a founding researcher in the emerging field of Cyberpsychology–the study of how the human brain works while in a cyber environment.

    His pioneering research in cyberpsychology has begun to uncover biological deficiencies in humans that function for survival in face-to-face interactions but do not activate in a cyber environment. These vulnerabilities allow cyberattacks, such as phishing and digital social engineering, to continue to thrive even as awareness grows. People are often the weakest link in the cyber environment, and Dr. Huffman is working to explain how the problem persists and what can be done to mitigate.

    Dr. Huffman has been presented his research at NASA-Goddard, CyberWyoming, ISACA, TedxColoradoSprings, and TedXManitouSprings. To date, he has conducted studies totaling over 20,000 participants, and he has applied his research with trailblazing results in more than 220 organizations worldwide.

    Erik Huffman's Speech Descriptions

    Cyberpsychology

    What happens when machines become human-like? According to data breach investigation reports human-error is the cause of 90% of data breaches. With mass adoption of general AI this may cause a rise in more sophisticated digital social engineering attempts.

    This talk analyzes how the brain interprets AI facial recognition, deep-fake detection, the principles of influence used in these attacks, and the future of social engineering. Humans are not the weakest link, but are the best solution.
