In Episode 22 of The Cyber Hot Seat, we are joined by Jonathan Craven, Data Privacy and Cyber Security Consultant and compliance specialist, to explore what it really means to rebuild security culture by putting people back at the centre of cyber resilience.

Jonathan challenges the long-standing belief that employees are the “weakest link” and explains why that mindset may be doing more harm than good. Fear-based messaging and blame-driven compliance can discourage reporting and weaken engagement. Instead, sustainable security is built on trust, clarity and shared responsibility.

Drawing on his experience in data privacy and regulatory compliance, Jonathan discusses how organisations can design security programmes that work with human behaviour rather than against it. From neurodiversity and inclusive learning design to the role emotion plays in shaping secure decision-making, the conversation explores how lasting security habits are formed and why they often fail.
