Episode Synopsis

Argues that cybersecurity is primarily a behavioral challenge rather than a technological one, emphasizing that people are the cause of nearly all security incidents. The book introduces and elaborates on nine key cybersecurity habits—such as vigilance, skepticism, diligence, and deception—which are presented as actionable behaviors for both individuals and organizations. Various anecdotes and case studies, ranging from the Girl Scouts' approach to fearless learning to the Challenger disaster and the Tylenol poisonings, illustrate the importance of these habits and the psychological principles, like the triune brain theory and learned helplessness, that influence security choices. Ultimately, the text encourages a shift toward proactive, cooperative, and culture-focused security practices that empower individuals to manage risk.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/cyber_security_summaryGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Well-Aware-Master-Cybersecurity-Protect/dp/1626347352?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=ef42f6672483a28d5534e27ea0ed4789&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlDiscover our free courses in tech and cybersecurity, Start learning today:https://linktr.ee/cybercode_academy
