The Cybersecurity Seatbelt: A Cyberpsychologist’s Take on Moving from Awareness to Preparedness


Listen Later

What if the biggest vulnerability in cybersecurity isn't the technology—but the people behind it? Dr. Erik Huffman, a pioneer in cyberpsychology, joins The Segment to break down the human factors behind digital attacks. 

Cyberpsychology—the blend of security, human behavior, and neuroscience—reveals that over 90% of data breaches involve human error or social engineering, not just technical exploits. The conversation shifts to why traditional cybersecurity awareness training isn’t enough—awareness is widespread, but true preparedness is lacking.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Why even the most secure organizations still fall victim to cyberattacks
  • The dangerous blame culture in cybersecurity and why it needs to change
  • The intense pressure and burnout CISOs face in today’s fast-moving business world 
  • What organizations can do to strengthen security beyond just investing in tech
  • How attackers manipulate emotions
     

If you think only careless people get hacked, think again.
