Human Based Cybersecurity Risks

Human Based Cybersecurity Risks

The Cybersecurity Vault — episode 48, with guests Wade Baker, Ashley Rose, and Sumona Banerji.

Are people the weakest link in cybersecurity or perhaps a powerful untapped asset?

Let’s explore the latest research data, tease out the behavioral importance and discuss the underlying cognitive drivers that impact cybersecurity — as both a risk and opportunity.

If we want to manage cyber risks that involve people, such as social engineering attacks which can lead to ransomware, theft, fraud, insider attacks, and system compromises — we need clear insights!

In this episode of the Cybersecurity Vault, host Matthew Rosenquist engages with cybersecurity experts Wade Baker, Ashley Rose, and Sumona Banerji to explore the critical role of human behavior in cybersecurity. They discuss the significant impact of human error on security breaches, the importance of cognitive security, and the need for a cultural shift in how organizations approach cybersecurity training and awareness. The conversation highlights the necessity of continuous monitoring, understanding cognitive vulnerabilities, and leveraging data insights to manage human risk effectively. The experts emphasize the importance of visibility, communication, and creating a supportive environment to foster a strong security culture.
