Psychology beats punishment when building human firewalls. Craig Taylor, CEO & Co-founder of CyberHoot, brings 30 years of cybersecurity experience and a psychology background to challenge the industry's fear-based training approach. His methodology replaces "gotcha" phishing simulations with positive reinforcement systems that teach users to identify threats through skill-building rather than intimidation.
Craig also touches on how cybersecurity is only 25 years old compared to other fields, like medicine's centuries of development, leading to significant industry mistakes. NIST's 2003 password requirements, for example, were completely wrong and took 14 years to officially retract. Craig's multidisciplinary approach combines psychology with security practice, recognizing that the industry's single-focus mindset contributed to these fundamental errors that organizations are still correcting today.
Topics discussed:
Replacing fear-based phishing training with positive reinforcement systems that teach threat identification through skill-building.
Implementing seven-point email evaluation frameworks covering sender domain verification, emotional manipulation detection, and alternative communication verification protocols.
Developing 3- to 5-minute gamified training modules that reward correct threat identification across specific categories.
Correcting cybersecurity industry misconceptions through multidisciplinary approaches.
Evaluating emerging security technologies like passkeys through industry backing analysis.
Building human firewall capabilities through psychological understanding of manipulation tactics.
Implementing pause-and-verify protocols to confirm unusual requests that pass technical email verification checks.
Key Takeaways: 
Replace punishment-based phishing simulations with positive reinforcement training that rewards users for correctly identifying threat indicators.
Implement gamified security training modules instead of lengthy video sessions to maintain user engagement.
Establish pause-and-verify protocols requiring alternative communication channels to confirm unusual requests that pass technical email verification checks.
Evaluate emerging security technologies by examining industry backing and major sponsor adoption before incorporating them into training programs.

Most organizations approach ransomware as a technical problem, but Steve Baer, Field CISO at Digital Asset Redemption, has built his career understanding it as fundamentally human. His team's approach highlights why traditional cybersecurity tools fall short against motivated human adversaries and how proactive intelligence gathering can prevent incidents before they occur.
Steve's insights from the ransomware negotiation business challenge conventional wisdom about cyber extortion. Professional negotiators consistently achieve 73-75% reductions in ransom demands through skilled human interaction, while many victims discover their "stolen" data is actually worthless historical information that adversaries misrepresent as current breaches. Digital Asset Redemption's unique position allows them to purchase stolen organizational data on dark markets before public disclosure, effectively preventing incidents rather than merely responding to them.
Topics discussed:
Building human intelligence networks with speakers of different languages who maintain authentic personas and relationships within dark web adversarial communities.
Professional ransomware negotiation techniques that achieve consistent 73-75% reductions in extortion demands through skilled human interaction rather than automated responses.
The reality that less than half of ransomware victims require payment, as many attacks involve worthless historical data misrepresented as current breaches.
Proactive data acquisition strategies that purchase stolen organizational information on dark markets before public disclosure to prevent incident escalation.
Why AI serves as a useful tool for maintaining context and personas but cannot replace human intelligence when countering human adversaries.
Key Takeaways: 
Investigate data value before paying ransoms — many attacks involve worthless historical information that adversaries misrepresent as current breaches.
Engage professional negotiators rather than attempting DIY ransomware negotiations, as specialized expertise consistently achieves 73-75% reductions in demands.
Build relationships within the cybersecurity community since the industry remains small and professionals freely share valuable threat intelligence.
Deploy human intelligence networks with diverse language capabilities to gather authentic threat intelligence from adversarial communities.
Assess AI implementation as a useful tool for maintaining context and personas while recognizing human adversaries require human intelligence to counter.
