The Human Defense Layer

Most cybersecurity programs work against human nature instead of with our innate behaviors, resulting in breaches even though your organizations may already have spent large amounts of money on security technologies. Perry Carpenter, our guest this week, helps you understand your end-users and build an effective Human Defense Layer to bolster your cybersecurity posture.

Tune in to this episode of Ask A CISO to hear:

👉 How Perry defines the Human Defense Layer
👉 What inspired Perry to focus on the Human Defense Layer
👉 Are Security Awareness exercises and programs effective?
👉 How current approaches to managing the human element in cybersecurity are setting end-users up for failure
👉 Why it's important to understand the intention-action gap in dealing with humans and cybersecurity
👉 How to start building a holistic security culture
👉 How and why we cybersecurity practitioners should work with, instead of against, human nature to build a strong security culture
👉 How you can measure the maturity of your security culture

The Ask A CISO podcast is a production of Horangi Cyber Security, Asia's leading cloud security provider. The show is hosted weekly by cofounder and CEO, Paul Hadjy.
