Checkups And Checklists: Cyber Risk Isn't Just A Technical Problem
KnowBe4, Friday, June 13th, 2025
There are many things in our lives we must prepare for to be ready. For other things, we wing it, or we're not prepared to deal with it at the moment.
For me, I've reached that point in my life where I needed to have a medical procedure done, and it was something I've put off for several years. It may not be very comfortable to admit, but last week, I had a colonoscopy.
That's not exactly how you'd expect a cybersecurity blog to start, but hear me out on this one!
Granted, the experience was awkward and somewhat disgusting, but it contained moments that required trust, preparation, and transparency. Somewhere between the 40-hour fast, paperwork, and my own personal modesty or vulnerability, it made me realize that this is along the lines of what it feels like to manage human risk in cybersecurity.
