There is no shortage of technical solutions for defending organizations against cyber threats. A quick internet search yields many options for threat detection, threat prevention, and a variety of other services aimed at keeping data secure. But security, at its core, is a people process. People create strong passwords. People use common sense to avoid falling for phishing scams. People develop security software to help defend other people (from people). Focusing on the human elements of cybersecurity, from both an end-user and cybercriminal perspective, makes it easier to understand what end-users are up against daily, and also gives a face to a complex topic that many think is highly technical.
