This week I've been:
✅ Finalising a strategic partnership with a vulnerability assessment company
✅ Creating video-based security training that people actually want to watch
✅ Conducting Cyber Essentials assessments (yes, they still catch critical gaps!)
✅ Providing technical leadership to growing companies
✅ Deep-diving into AWS security best practices
Cybersecurity isn't just about the latest tools or threats – it's about building security into the fabric of how organisations operate.
The manufacturing client who was eager to learn despite having basic gaps impressed me more than the financial services firm with all the right tools but inconsistent processes.
Security culture > Security technology. Every time.
Three things that stood out this week:
🎯 Cyber Essentials still matters – Even "basic" frameworks catch significant vulnerabilities when properly implemented
🎥 Training works when it's human – Scenario-based learning beats policy recitation every single time
☁️ "Security as code" is the future – Treating security configurations with the same rigor as application code
The variety in this field never stops amazing me. In five days I touched business development, content creation, regulatory compliance, technical consulting, and professional development. Each area informed the others in ways that wouldn't be possible in a more specialised role.
Question for my network: What's been the most surprising security challenge you've encountered recently? I'm always curious about the problems others are solving.

🎣 Social Engineering Cheatsheet: Understand the Human Attack Surface
Social engineering targets human behavior — not just systems. This cheat sheet outlines common tactics used in awareness training and authorized red team simulations.
🧠 Top Social Engineering Techniques (for educational use):
1. Phishing – Deceptive emails that trick users into clicking links or revealing credentials
2. Spear Phishing – Targeted emails with personalized content
3. Vishing – Voice-based phishing (e.g., fake IT support calls)
4. Smishing – Malicious SMS/text messages
5. Pretexting – Creating a fabricated scenario to gain trust
6. Baiting – Leaving infected USBs or tempting downloads
7. Tailgating – Gaining physical access by following authorized personnel
8. Quid Pro Quo – Offering something (e.g., IT help) in exchange for access
🔐 Defense Tips:
• Train employees with real-world scenarios
• Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• Validate requests before sharing info
• Encourage reporting of suspicious activity

🦩 Living the HIGH life in DOHA!
Fun fact: Qatar's Doha airport has a 23-foot tall teddy bear lamp that weighs 35 tons! Even a flamingo feels small next to that one 😅
Speaking of larger-than-life experiences - your girl just lived it up in a Qatar Airways First Class suite! Who knew a dancing flamingo could travel so fancy? Catching some Z's at 40,000 feet before bringing my security training (and dance moves) to Hyderabad!
Next stop: India 🇮🇳
Because even fancy flamingos have work to do!

Are phishing simulations hurting cybersecurity? New research challenges traditional methods, suggesting a focus on reality-based training. However, studies show up to 87% improvement in phishing awareness after training. What's your take?

Why do so many people take against actionable low friction security advice?
It seems like a huge chunk of the industry is incapable of doing any form of accurate risk assessment or understand that most people's personal risk tolerance is different to theirs or to a company's. Which is part of the underlying worry for personal security - people are happy with quite high risk/data handover if it's low friction (because low friction is what people want).
But offer simple things for people to do to improve their security a little, like using bookmarks, any form of password manager with autofill etc seems to cause rage with people diving in with how autofill is the devil, edge cases, people should assess links etc.
No.
Low friction. Easy. Implementable by someone with few tech skills. Stuff that makes their day to day easier and faster. Those WILL get used by people. High friction/high skills based things WILL NOT get used. Most people are not high risk of being personally targeted. Most people can benefit from using bookmarks and password managers.
Some security is better than none. What this industry is doing is making security so complex and high friction that people will have zero security because it's too hard.
Make security low friction. Make it easy. BE HAPPY THAT PEOPLE CAN DO SOME SECURITY even if you personally like to live with a million complex set ups.
Your risk appetite is not the same as anyone else's.

Y’all, I love my employees. I had another instance of an end user self reporting a phish success as fast as my security alert tripped. They reset their own password while waiting for us to get on the line.
Toxic phishing training and anti-user attitudes can screw right off into orbit and transfer straight into the sun.
There are some well-known reasons why gamification is considered to be a good tool for cyber security training and awareness programs.
There are also some misconceptions about gamification that tend to lead people to dismiss the approach.
In today's live Cyber Security Awareness Forum panel discussion, we'll dig into "The pros and cons of gamification in a security awareness program"
Joing us at 1pm EDT today (Wednesday, November 1), and bring your questions or comments...
