In this episode of CCN Conversations, host Francois Guay sits down with Roberto Ishmael Pennino to explore the power of human-centric cybersecurity.
Roberto shares his unconventional journey from education and healthcare into cybersecurity, where he now specializes in awareness and knowledge translation. He discusses how translating complex technical concepts into practical, relatable guidance is critical to protecting individuals across society, from children to seniors.
The conversation covers hands-on training, the importance of certifications, community involvement through the Canadian Cybersecurity Network, and why cybersecurity cannot succeed if it focuses only on systems instead of people.
Roberto also shares his recent transition into a cybersecurity awareness role at TELUS and reflects on the persistence, relationships, and belief required to succeed in this field.
If you are interested in cybersecurity careers, awareness initiatives, or strengthening the human side of security, this episode is for you.
