Tips on Engaging Readers in Cybersecurity and Computer Science: My Top 10
We all have a role in engaging others within our industry and also with those outside our disciplines and with the general public. In academia, we often define this as engagement and is the art of finding topics that interest others, and in trying to explain your art in an engaging way. Personally I used to use LinkedIn to write blog articles, but I was kicked-off twice for having too much interest in a post (the autobots in LinkedIn are quite sensitive in thinking you are a machine) and it is difficult to trace your articles.

They have taken complex topics, and add new things, and then explain it to the general public. In Cybersecurity — generally — we still struggle in places, and in areas of Cloud Computing, we have barely engaged properly…
