In this episode of Save Today, Tomorrow, host Bec Cheb sits down with renowned security researcher Troy Hunt to discuss the evolving landscape of data breaches, breach notifications, and privacy regulations. From the realities of incident disclosure to the limitations of current reporting frameworks, Troy shares his insights on how organisations handle breaches, what individuals should know about their data, and why transparency remains a critical component of cyber resilience.
Why does traditional cyber security awareness training so often fail to change behaviour? In this episode of Share Today, Save Tomorrow, Bec Cheb sits down with Eric Pinkerton to explore the gap between compliance-driven training and genuine cyber resilience. Through relatable real-world analogies, Pinky explains how adopting a mindset of situational awareness, much like navigating an unfamiliar foreign city, can help individuals better recognise and respond to online threats. The conversation challenges conventional approaches to security education and offers practical insights into building lasting security culture.
