The old mantra that humans are the weakest link in cybersecurity should be discarded, according to George Finney. Listen in as we talk to him about why he thinks so, and why he chose to draw from sciences like psychology, neuroscience, history, and economics for his first book Well Aware. We also had George define Zero Trust and talk about his new book Project Zero Trust, which he co-authored with John Kindervag, the “father” of Zero Trust.
