** New Podcast Episode ** The Human Firewall: Why People Are the Biggest Cyber Risk (and Asset) When we think of cybersecurity, most of us picture firewalls, antivirus, and complex tech defenses. But here’s the truth: the strongest firewall in any business isn’t made of code. It’s made of people. In Episode 1 of The Digital Shield, we unpack how everyday actions , a single click, a reused password, a quick reply to a “CEO” email, can make or break your organization’s security posture. Join us as we explore: ✅ Why human error fuels 90% of cyber incidents ✅ How to turn employees into your first line of defense ✅ Real-world habits that make security second nature ✅ Training tools that actually work (spoiler: gamified learning wins) 🎧 Listen https://lnkd.in/gntikTPt Learn how to build a culture where people protect what tech can’t. #Cybersecurity #TheDigitalShield #PodcastLaunch #CMITSolutions #HumanFirewall #Leadership #TechAwareness #CyberResilience

🧠 Cybersecurity isn’t a tech problem. It’s a people problem. The biggest threat in 2025 isn’t malware.  It’s habits, the quiet, well-intentioned decisions that no one challenges. Every team faces alert fatigue.  Every organization passes audits.  Every dashboard says “we’re safe.”  But that’s not the same as being secure. 👉 What’s your biggest human cybersecurity challenge right now? Alert overload?  Burnout?  Leadership blind spots? Drop your take below ⬇️ We’re gathering insights on the most common cultural risks companies face for an upcoming research brief.

There’s No “Easy Button” in Cybersecurity. Everyone wants the quick fix — a tool, a checklist, a policy template. But the truth is, cybersecurity isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a journey of understanding your organization — how it operates, what systems it relies on, and where its real vulnerabilities lie. It’s about knowing your threats — who might target you, why, and how. And it’s about aligning people, process, and technology to build resilience, not just compliance. Cybersecurity isn’t solved by a single product or framework — it’s solved by awareness, strategy, and discipline over time. 🔍 So before asking “What’s the best cybersecurity solution?” Ask instead: “How well do we understand ourselves?” #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement #Leadership #CISO #Resilience

🔐 #Day130 of Learning Cybersecurity Today I focused on the importance of procedure documents in cybersecurity. Unlike standards or guidelines, procedures are longer, more detailed, and include step-by-step instructions (sometimes with graphics). For large organizations, procedures are essential to maintain consistency in deployments and ensure a secure environment. As part of @Apollo’s efforts to embed a stronger cybersecurity culture, I explored how employees can follow a clear procedure to change their passwords: 1️⃣ Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to open the login dialog box 2️⃣ Click “Change Password” 3️⃣ Enter your current password 4️⃣ Type your new password 5️⃣ Re-enter your new password for verification ✅ Simple, consistent, and secure. Procedure documents like these make it easier for employees to follow best practices while protecting the organization. #Day130 #LearningCybersecurity #CyberAwareness #SecurityCulture #Procedures
