In this informative episode of Living the Dream with Curveball, we welcome Craig Taylor, cybersecurity professional and co-founder of Cyberhoot. With a background in psychology and decades of experience as a virtual CISO, Craig explains how positive reinforcement can help people build safer online habits—and why cybersecurity education should empower rather than shame.
Listeners will learn about:
- Three practical steps for improving personal cybersecurity: using multi-factor authentication or passkeys, adopting a password manager, and getting regular training
- How a phishing attack at a CPA firm was contained quickly because employees felt safe reporting their mistake
- Deepfakes, the growing “ClickFix” scam, and ways to verify suspicious requests before taking action
- How ransomware has evolved, from encrypting files to stealing data and threatening organizations with multiple forms of extortion
- Craig’s advice for starting a cybersecurity career and the value of meeting people where they are
Craig also shares his community work as a Rotarian and his 12 years riding the Pan-Mass Challenge with his son to raise money for cancer research. He discusses Cyberhoot’s upcoming adaptive security training and invites individuals to try its free cybersecurity education at www.cyberhoot.com/individuals.
