Most organizations approach cybersecurity through fear, punishment, and overly complex technical jargon. But what if the key to stopping cyberattacks isn't better software, but better human culture?

In this episode, Craig Taylor, CISSP, Co-Founder of CyberHoot, and vCISO to dozens of companies, joins the podcast to break down why the hardest cybersecurity challenges are organizational, not technical. Craig shares insights from his 30+ years in the industry, including leading security teams at CSC, JP Morgan Chase, and Vistaprint, and explains how positive reinforcement transforms human risk into an organization’s greatest defense.
