Cognitive overload is leading to obvious security vulnerabilities as the wave of cybercrime gets worse. We can’t risk being hacked as a result of being distracted, yet many employees risk making critical mistakes, especially if they are overstressed.

Can we promote a happier, healthier and safer working environment by taking a moment to quieten down, focus and pay attention to our actions.

As senior vice president of content strategy and evangelist at KnowBe4 Africa, Collard shares her insights into people's susceptibility to social engineering tricks and how to counter them.

Being distracted, and falsely believing we can multitask, is an obvious weakness that is being exploited by attackers, she says.
