CybSafe’s Oz Alashe and Dr. John Blythe ask Dr. Debra Malpass about how important it is to rely on behavioural science for insight into employees’ thought process before and during a cyber-attack. They also discuss how companies today are beginning to realize that awareness of cyber security simply does not suffice and how cultural and behaviour change must be at the core to ensure adequate safety against sophisticated cyber-security attacks.
