Stop Punishing People for Phishing - #224
Show notes
What if the best way to improve cybersecurity awareness is to stop punishing people for getting it wrong?
In this episode of Reimagining Cyber, Keelin Conant revisits a conversation with Craig Taylor, co-founder CEO of CyberHoot, who argues that fear and shame don’t change behaviour — positive reinforcement does.
Craig explains why traditional phishing simulations can give a misleading picture of risk, how organisations can better measure employee progress, and why teaching people to recognise the tricks attackers use is far more effective than simply punishing mistakes.
The result? More confident employees, fewer unnecessary alerts for IT teams, and a stronger security culture that extends beyond the workplace.
