Even with a substantial increase in Exploitation of Vulnerabilities, All Credential Abuse is still the top initial access vector for breaches, which means the human is still the weakest link. Why haven't security awareness training and phishing campaigns worked?
Robert Siciliano, Architect of of The Strategic Human Firewall™ at ProtectNow, joins Business Security Weekly to explore why humans, not hackers, are the ultimate deciding factor in organizational security. The industry needs to shift from security awareness to security appreciation. Robert will discuss:
How you can build a culture that actually protects your people, your data, and your operations in an era of AI deception.
