Episode Notes
During the On Location series at AISA Cyber Con 2024 in Melbourne, the conversation about cybersecurity turns engaging as Jacqueline Jayne, Security Awareness Advocate, shares her experience on human risk management and cybersecurity education. Her insights bring forward crucial points on bridging the gap between human behavior and technological security measures.
One pivotal topic discussed is the persistent challenge of human error in cybersecurity. Jacqueline highlights that human error now accounts for over 90% of security breaches. The approach to mitigating these risks isn't merely technological but educational. She emphasizes the need for comprehensive security awareness training and shifting organizational culture towards proactive risk management.
Jacqueline shares, “Organizations should redefine IT departments from the ‘Department of No’ to the ‘Department of K-N-O-W.’” She believes that instead of restricting users, organizations should focus on empowering them with knowledge, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive training that connects with employees on a personal level.
Throughout the conversation, the importance of contextual and relatable education stands out. Jacqueline advocates for simulated phishing campaigns to provide real-world scenarios for employees. By understanding and experiencing what a phishing attempt looks like in a controlled environment, employees can better recognize and react to actual threats.
Another compelling point is teaching digital citizenship from a young age. Jacqueline compares cybersecurity education to road safety education. Just as children learn road safety progressively, digital safety should be ingrained from an early age. Appropriate and guided exposure to technology can ensure they grow up as responsible digital citizens.
The discussion also touches on parental and organizational roles. Jacqueline discusses the proposal of banning social media for children under 16, acknowledging its complexity. She suggests that though banning might seem straightforward, it's more about educating and guiding children and teenagers on safe digital practices. Organizations and parents alike should collaborate to create a safer and more informed digital environment for the younger generation.
Towards the end, the dialogue shifts to the potential role of AI in enhancing cybersecurity awareness. There’s a consensus on using AI not as a replacement but as an augmentative tool to alert and educate users about potential threats in real-time, potentially mitigating the risk of human error. In conclusion, the conversation highlights the indispensable role of education in cybersecurity. JJ's perspective fosters a comprehensive approach that includes organizational culture change, continuous engagement, and early digital citizenship education. It’s not just about implementing technology but evolving our collective behavior and mindset to ensure a secure digital future.
