My name is James Tartamella, and I am currently a student at Colorado Technical University, working on my Doctorate in Computer Science. I am conducting an academic study called “Exploring Factors Influencing Information Technology Professionals Using Automation to Comply with the Organization’s Security Policies.”

You are invited to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to explore what factors influence IT operation professionals in medium to large organizations to comply with the organization’s security policies at the operating system level using infrastructure automation.

You would be a good fit if:

• You have more than two years of IT automation experience.

• Your work or former work has IT security rules.

If you volunteer to participate in this study, you will be asked to do the following:

• Review and sign an Informed Consent form.

• Attend a virtual interview of about 25-45 minutes.

• Review transcripts for correctness.

There are no incentives to participate.

All collected data will only be used for this research study and will remain confidential. as approved by the Colorado Technical University Institutional Review Board.

If you are willing to participate or have any questions about this study, please reply to this message or contact me at the email below.

Thank you,

James Tartamella
