What if the most dangerous vulnerability in any network isn't a line of code, but a person who hasn't learned to question what they're being told? Vice Admiral Jan Tighe, one of the Navy's most decorated commanders and a pioneering career cryptologist, joins host, Annie Duke, to explore the intersection of cybersecurity, foreign manipulation, and the urgent case for Decision Education. Jan and Annie trace the arc from Cold War signals intelligence to today's AI-saturated information ecosystem, examining why protecting our networks means little if we haven't first strengthened our thinking.
Key takeaways include why the greatest risk to any secure system is human behavior rather than technology, why decision makers consistently underweight future risk in favor of present convenience, and why teaching decision-making early in K-12 may be one of the most powerful tools we have for protecting the public from disinformation.
This is The Decision Education Podcast, where we explore the science of decision-making with a diverse range of experts and offer practical strategies to transform our understanding of the role decisions play in our lives.
