E33: The Human Element of Cybersecurity: A People-First Approach with Abi Dakin

In this episode of Bad Actors, host Rebecca Cradick is joined by cybersecurity expert and leader in governance, risk, and compliance, Abi Dakin. Abi, who is neurodiverse and has a background in risk management, compliance, and security strategy, believes in making cybersecurity accessible and aligned with business goals.

Abi and Rebecca discuss how legislation, like GDPR, NIS2, and DORA, is shaping the cyber landscape and the challenges of building trust within a supply chain. In addition, they tackle the question: Are people the weakest link in cybersecurity? Abi shares her unique perspective on how human error and evolving cyber threats necessitate a "people-first" approach, focusing on education, secure tools, and technologies like Zero Trust frameworks.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of human behavior, technology, and policy in the world of digital defense.
