Secure Your Summer: Top Cyber Myths, Busted [Threat Vector]

While the N2K CyberWire team is observing Independence Day in the US, we thought you'd enjoy this episode of Threat Vector from our podcast network. Listen in and bust those cyber myths. In this episode of Threat Vector, David Moulton talks with Lisa Plaggemier, Executive Director of the National Cybersecurity Alliance. Lisa shares insights from this year’s “Oh Behave!” report and dives into why cybersecurity habits remain unchanged—even when we know better. From password reuse to misunderstood AI risks, Lisa explains how emotion, storytelling, and system design all play a role in protecting users. Learn why secure-by-design is the future, how storytelling can reshape behavior, and why facts alone won’t change minds. This episode is a must-listen for CISOs, security leaders, and anyone working to reduce human risk at scale. Resources: Kubikle: A comedy webseries about cybercriminals. Oh Behave!
