Cybersecurity’s weakest link: people. Cytellix Cybersecurity Podcast Series, Part 1


Listen Later

People at the top get hooked in more easily, Bad actors look for back of the herd vulnerability.
“It is people and cyberattack actors recognize that,” says Walt Czerminski, CEO at Cytellix. “It’s the person that’s going to click on a phishing exploit and grant a cyberattack actor access into the organization. That’s the biggest risk.”
In this first podcast of a podcast series on cybersecurity, we examine the largest challenge: the people in any organization. From the CEO, a law firm’s most senior partner, the senior scholar at a university or mayor of a city, on the way down the organizational chart to a part time hire, or even a temp from a contractor, people matter in terms of thinking about risk. They needn’t want to cause any harm. “People at the top get hooked in, more easily,” says Czerminski.
Processes, behaviors, and more are among many points of weakness. Czerminski tells us that this is a vulnerability that happens the most. Email links are among the problems. Social engineering can include calls, and text. “For $500 and a handshake agreement that the actor won’t do anything for a few days, credentials are sold.”
We walk through the threat landscape, explore in-house remedies, and discuss the Cytellix approach. Czerminski relates his direct experiences, working for two notable financial institutions, on their security needs, about the need for framework. “You don’t want to be the last gazelle in the herd.”

Cytellix helps companies better understand their "real security posture" and provides a new way to manage and deploy cybersecurity capabilities, risk awareness, and compliance with a plan tailored to specific situations and needs.
