The Behavioral Science of Cybersecurity | Cybersecurity Sessions #14 with Si Pavitt & Steve Dewsnip

Dec 8, 2022

If a stranger walked into your workplace and asked you your name and email address, would you co-operate? What if they asked you to open a door for them, or to use your laptop or phone, all whilst wearing a shirt that said “CHALLENGE ME” on it?

This is the malicious floorwalker, an example of the behavioral interventions staged by the UK Ministry of Defence to educate their workforce about security threats and put their teachings into practice. In this episode, Cyril speaks with Si Pavitt (Head of the Ministry of Defence Cyber Awareness, Behaviours and Culture Team) and Steve Dewsnip (Behavioural Scientist at Atkins) to find out how gamifying psychological theory delivers surprising results across as diverse an organization as the UK’s Ministry of Defence.
