In Episode 12 of The Brief, Charles Denyer takes a hard look at the one risk that’s been here since the dawn of cybersecurity—and is still the biggest threat today: human behavior.
From phishing emails to accidental data leaks, credential sharing to rogue insiders, the truth is clear: your tech stack may be bulletproof, but your people? Not so much. In this episode, Charles breaks down how attackers exploit human nature, why awareness training isn’t enough, and what it takes to build a modern security culture that works with human behavior instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.
He also introduces a critical fifth segment—Security by Design for Humans—to help leaders rethink how policies, systems, and daily workflows can reduce human error at the source.
Subscribe, share, and stay vigilant. Because the future of security isn’t about avoiding risk—it’s about understanding it.
