  • #19 Positive reinforcement in Security Awarenes with Craig Taylor
    🎧 CyberPod EU – Episode 19
    Title: Positive reinforcement in Security Awarenes with Craig Taylor
    Welcome to a brand-new episode of CyberPodEU, where we explore the evolving landscape of cybersecurity through expert insights and practical solutions.
    In this episode, our host Lesku Gergely sits down with Craig Taylor, co-founder of Cyberhoot, to discuss how psychology — specifically operant conditioning — can revolutionize the way we train employees to defend against cyber threats.
    🧠 Forget fear-based phishing tests. Craig shares how positive reinforcement and behavior-focused learning can actually empower users to recognize and respond to threats effectively — and why this shift matters more than ever in the face of EU regulations like NIS2.
    🔍 In this episode:
    • Why traditional phishing simulations might backfire
    • The psychology behind effective cyber awareness training
    • How Cyberhoot uses gamification and real-world simulations to educate
    • The growing role of AI in security training
