Anna’s research interests revolve around interorganisational networks and social cybersecurity in organisations. More specifically, her research interests draw upon the sociological perspective to investigate how social relationships impact individual and organisational outcomes, addressing dynamics of interorganisational collaboration and information sharing, and recently the socio-relational aspects of cybersecurity.
