In this Secure and Simple Podcast episode, host Dejan Kosutic (Advisera) interviews Robert Siciliano, co-founder of ProtectNow and author of Strategic Human Firewall, about why organizations must address the “human blind spot” - people’s psychological need to trust that attackers exploit through impersonation, social engineering, and manufactured urgency. Siciliano explains why phishing simulations alone are not true security awareness training and introduces the AAA protocol (Analyze, Authenticate, Act) with out-of-band verification to stop scams like fake PayPal charges or CEO payment requests. He argues companies should build a “strategic human firewall” by shifting employees from passive targets to active detection layers through scalable, interactive dialogue (e.g., all-hands Q&A) that teaches personal security first, improving engagement and security behaviors measurable through better phishing results and increased adoption of practices like unique passcodes and password managers.
