Hooked! The Cyber Podcast - Episode 1

Introducing Jericho Security's Podcast: Transforming Cybersecurity Training for Real Impact

Are you pouring extensive resources into security awareness training (SAT) but seeing minimal real-world risk reduction? You're not alone. According to numerous State of Security Awareness Training reports, 95% of organizations experienced avoidable security incidents due to user errors in the past year. Additionally, most security leaders find current SAT tools overly cumbersome, and over half believe the effort outweighs the impact.

Clearly, something needs to change - and that's precisely why we've created the Jericho Security Podcast, now streaming on Spotify. Each episode offers a thoughtful exploration into what genuinely moves the needle in cybersecurity awareness, featuring smarter strategies, candid conversations, and actionable advice.

Episode 1 – “Hooked”

In our inaugural installment, we dissect the moment a social engineer “hooks” your people- whether through a tailored phishing lure, a persuasive pretext, or emotional bait. You’ll hear:

  • Anatomy of the Hook: Real-world social engineering case studies breaking down how bad actors leverage curiosity, urgency, and authority to bypass technical controls.

  • Human Firewall Gaps: Insights into why even seasoned professionals fall prey, from cognitive biases to information overload.

  • Jericho’s Strategic Edge: A deep dive into Jericho Security’s multi-layered awareness framework, including behavioral microlearning, executive simulations, and continuous reinforcement aligned to NIST CSF and ISO 27001.

  • Customer Success Spotlight: Learn how one enterprise transformed a 30% phishing click-rate into sustained vigilance, cutting risk by over 60% in just six months.

  • Action Plan: Practical steps for addressing human vulnerabilities, from rapid-fire role-based drills to leadership-driven culture shifts.

Tune in to “Hooked” and get ready to rewire how your organization thinks about people-powered security - because the first line of defense is understanding the bait.

Join the conversation today and discover how you can transform your organization's security awareness training from high-effort, low-impact modules into strategies that deliver tangible results.
