Summary
Dennis E. Leber, Ph.D., addresses the challenges posed by human behavior in cybersecurity, emphasizing that individuals often lack the mindset required for recognizing and mitigating threats. Many employees operate under the optimism bias, underestimating the risk of cyberattacks and viewing their data as not valuable, which leads to negligence in adhering to security protocols. Leber recommends that organizations view cybersecurity as a fundamental business priority rather than a technical concern, advocating for its integration across all levels of the company to strengthen security measures and enhance overall business objectives, as illustrated by DDN's proactive approach under Bob Zukis.
