Episode 24: The Human Blind spot

What if the biggest security risk isn't your software, but your instinct to trust? In this episode security analyst, best-selling author and "strategic human firewall" architect Robert Siciliano explains how criminals use AI, deepfakes and voice cloning to exploit what he calls the human blind spot. He also shares why traditional phishing training falls short and a simple playbook for breaking the fake. Robert closes with his own "Oh hell no" moment: a convincing fake Google Security call that nearly fooled him.Key topicsHow a 1995 hack led Robert to a 30-plus-year career in security awarenessThe human blind spot: how scammers weaponize trust and manufactured urgencyDeepfakes, voice cloning and the $25 million Hong Kong video-call fraudPig butchering scams and the human trafficking behind themWhy phishing simulations aren't enough, and what "security appreciation" meansThe Triple A protocol: analyze, authenticate, actRobert's "oh hell no" moment: the fake Google Security callConnect with Robert:protectnowlc.com and LinkedInThe brief from Editor described a different episode (an early online encyclopedia with Wes).
