In this episode of Tech Done Different, Ted chats with Dr. Keri Pearlson, Executive Director of MIT's cybersecurity research organization, CAMS. She shares insight from her team's research into how companies of all sizes can build a strong security culture, even for little or no cost.

You'll learn:

• why tech alone can't stop attackers, because they're "getting badder, faster"
• why training alone isn't sufficient; you need to change beliefs
• why behavior changes only if it matters
• why reward systems work, even if the reward is of little or no monetary value
• why punishment works just as well, too
• how some companies are thinking about culture as a dedicated leadership role
• why squirrels are the ultimate hackers, and security is like fitness (yup, seriously)
• the impact that it has when security becomes an executive priority
• what's coming next: AI, ML, supply chain, and cloud
