In this episode of The Vault, host Amelis Long welcomes FNBO Chief Information Security Officer Jeff Weeks for a timely conversation on cyber resilience and what it really takes to stay safe in today’s digital world. Jeff breaks down why many high-profile breaches still come down to simple issues like outdated systems, weak passwords, and rushed decision-making and how attackers increasingly exploit human behavior rather than complex technology.

Together, they discuss how awareness, skepticism, and preparation can make a meaningful difference for both businesses and consumers. From recognizing emotionally charged scams to building basic plans at work and at home, the episode reinforces a clear message: cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue, it’s a shared responsibility that starts with slowing down, asking questions, and practicing good digital hygiene.
