Episode 2: So you think you know security? with Sarah Janes 🎙️

Episode 2: So you think you know the psychology of cyber security?

In this episode of So you think you know security? with Sarah Janes, we talk about the psychology of cyber security – and why most breaches don’t start with technology, but with people.

We explore why behaviour change is so hard, why awareness training alone doesn’t work, and how pressure, habits and human bias shape the decisions people make every day at work.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• The gap between knowing and doing in cyber security
• How fear, pressure and ‘amygdala hijack’ affect decision-making
• The psychological tactics attackers use to exploit human behaviour 
• Why blame culture makes organisations less secure, not more
• How better conversations – not more policies – drive real behaviour change

“People aren’t the weakest link – they’re human. Systems need to be built around that.”

Hosted by Charlotte Ricca, interviewing Sarah Janes.
