Most security problems can be combated by changing behaviors using lessons learned from psychology, neuroscience, history, and economics. To successfully improve our cybersecurity, we must get people to replace old habits with new ones. We make it FUN.

CYBERSECURITY STATISTICS - 2022

There Is A Way To Improve Human Security.

It Starts With Changing One Habit At A Time.

When we train people to be secure, we show them how to set up a pin on their mobile phone or how not to click on links in email. But when a new technology comes out, they need to come back to us for more training because they were given a fish, not taught how to fish.
As humans, we have the unique ability to understand how our own minds work, and then we can change our own minds from the outside in. We must understand not just the technical aspects of security but also the psychology and neuroscience behind it. Security is not a competency; it is a behavior. Behaviors can’t be changed overnight, but they can be changed.

Security Is In Your DNA.

As a social animal, we came together as a species for mutual protection, and we’ve evolved to have a natural desire to want to play a role in security. And whether we come together in our families, communities, or organizations, we need security in order to perform at our highest and reach our full potential as individuals.​

Security is about your people, not your technology

The Nine Cybersecurity Habits To Protect Your Future.

Security isn’t a skill or something that you’re born with. Security is a behavior. We've identified nine different habits that work together to change behaviors and protect you when using technology. The best part is we make it fun.

1. LITERACY

There is an element of security that involves understanding your environment. This involves continuous learning.

2. SKEPTICISM

Being a skeptic means not trusting something until you've established its credibility.

3. VIGILANCE

This is the state of mind for keeping watch so that when you see something, you can be ready to recognize and act.

4. SECRECY

To protect your digital assets, you need to know what they are and you need to understand why you're protecting them.

5. CULTURE

Security doesn't happen in a vacuum, it requires everyone to participate in the form of practices, routines, and traditions.

6. DILIGENCE

After you experience an incident, you need to have plans and protocols for handing how you prepare and respond.

7. COMMUNITY

You need help to be secure. We work together to solve problems.

8. MIRRORING

You want to be able to see your digital self and what you look like from someone else's perspective.

9. DECEPTION

Deception can be both a preventative control as well as a detective one.

Culture Eats Cybersecurity For Breakfast.

One person, acting alone, can’t create a culture of security. But even a small group of people, working together can find the right fulcrum to move the biggest companies.
 
Security controls in and of themselves are not enough for protection. When groups of people form, norms are established. Sometimes, these norms are antithetical to security. In these cases, one person changing their behavior won’t change the whole company. A culture of cybersecurity embraced at all levels of a company, government, or community is needed.
COMPANIES WITH BELOW AVERAGE CULTURE RATINGS ARE 3X MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE A DATA BREACH.
