The biggest cybersecurity threat in 2024?

It’s not AI.
It’s not some new malware.
It’s not even nation-state attacks.

It’s you.

The human element is still the #1 reason breaches happen.

Clicking sketchy links.
Reusing passwords.
Ignoring software updates.

Hackers don’t break in—they log in.

Security vs. Convenience: The Battle No One Wins
Make security too tight? Employees find workarounds.
Make security too loose? You invite threats.

The real job of a CISO isn’t just reducing risk—it’s balancing trust, usability, and resilience.

(Where do you draw the line?)

#Cybersecurity isn’t an #IT problem—it’s a business problem. If you’re not prioritizing #security, you’re leaving revenue, reputation, and resilience at risk.

This platform is lacking, #BlueSky you need to rev up your dev pipeline and obviously do it with #AppSec in mind. #Cybersecurity #Marketing

A CISO’s job isn’t just security—it’s storytelling. If you can’t translate risk into business impact, you won’t get the budget, buy-in, or board support you need.
