On Wednesday morning at CyberUK In Practice we started a conversation that we’ve been pondering for some time. It’s very easy in cyber security to fall into the trap of describing people as the weakest link; “they should’t have clicked on the link” goes the cry; “why did they open that attachment?”. Bemoaning the “wetware problem” has become a standard fare at times.
We respectfully disagree!
We think people are the unsung heroes of cyber security. We want to put people-centric thinking at the heart of cyber security. We’ll be doing lots more about this in the weeks and months ahead. But to whet your appetite, here’s the video which Emma W showed this morning at CyberUK, which outlines our thinking.
