The Training Trap: Why Cyber Awareness Isn't Making You Safer
Description
Your organization spent money on cybersecurity training. Someone still clicked the link.
In this episode of Darnley's Cyber Café, we break down why most security awareness programs fail to change behaviour, and why the gap between knowing about a threat and actually being ready for it is exactly where attackers operate.
Drawing on research from ETH Zurich, real-world breach data, and the 2025 Marks & Spencer cyberattack, this episode unpacks the compliance checkbox model, the rise of AI powered phishing, and the vishing surge that most organizations are completely ignoring. What you can do about it today, whether you're running a security team or a five-person business.
