How To Get Quotables From Cybersecurity Professors
Hello all,
I'm preparing to write an article about security issues with IoT devices. A big part of the article is getting quotables from college professors who are highly credentialled and knowledgeable in cybersecurity. I basically wanted to get quotes like "That issue of non-compliance has been around since the 1970s. It is majorly due to xyz reason" or something like "The US experiences over 3000 breaches per year due to unpatched servers", etc. Then while writing the article I would then say "according to Professor John Doe of XYZ University....." the US experiences over 3000 breaches per year. That kind of thing.
Anyway, do you all have any tips or suggestions on how I should go about contacting these professors? As always thanks in advance for your tips, suggestions, and comments.

As far as how to contact, email is free and the squeaky wheel gets the oil so they say. Just have to explore the college faculty parts of websites to get the email address. Might get better expertise reaching out on Twitter to security professionals I suspect.

Wow. You actually have a solid point. The reason I wanted to contact the sources directly is so I can ask them the exact questions to get answers that support my point of view. For instance, I'm trying to assert that consumers buy more and more IoT devices to increase their safety and security, the exact opposite is actually happening as the increased number of internet connected IoT devices widen attack vectors from hackers decreasing their safety and security.
What journal are you planning on submitting to? If you have any particular journal questions, PM me.
