People, people, people.

Not just employee security awareness. But understanding the mindset of your
adversaries, how they create attacks that anticipate predictable human
reactions, and that security is still a battle of brains.

Good afternoon colleagues,

I have an opportunity to engage undergrad students in a single zoom
session – introducing them to 3 cyber security literacy topics. I thought I
would leveraage the brainpower of the HE community to hear what top 3
topics you would focus on if given this opportunity.



Thank you!
