Episode 6: So you think you know security? with Sarah Janes
We like to think we’re rational when it comes to assessing risk. We weigh up the evidence, make careful decisions and act accordingly. But psychology tells a different story.
In this episode host Charlotte Ricca joins Sarah Janes, CEO of Layer 8, to explore why our brains rely on shortcuts, assumptions and gut instinct โ and what that means for cyber security in the age of AI.
Together they discuss:
โ How AI is changing the way we assess risk
โ Why expertise can create blind spots
โ The hidden risks of outsourcing cyber security
โ How behavioural nudges help people make better decisions
โ Why understanding human psychology is key to reducing cyber risk
Because effective risk assessment isn’t just about better technology. It’s about better understanding how people think, decide and behave.
