Why do smart people in well-protected organizations still make security decisions that lead to incidents?
Most organizations already have cybersecurity tools, policies, training and awareness programs. Yet preventable security failures continue to happen.
Blindspots: Why Security Still Fails in Smart Organizations examines what traditional security programs often miss: the conditions shaping human judgment before an employee clicks, shares, approves, transfers or reports.
Drawing on behavioral science, enterprise cybersecurity experience and real-world incidents, cybersecurity strategist Dami Eluyera explores how urgency, workload, authority, fatigue, incentives and workplace culture can influence security decisions, even among experienced and well-intentioned employees.
This is not a technical cybersecurity manual or another compliance checklist. It is a practical guide to understanding human risk at work and why security awareness alone is often insufficient when employees are making decisions under real operational pressure.
Inside, you’ll explore:
• Why intelligent employees still make predictable security mistakes
• How pressure and workplace conditions influence security decisions
• Why more awareness does not automatically produce safer behaviour
• How organizational culture can strengthen or weaken security controls
• What real-world cyber incidents reveal about human judgment
• How leaders can design security around how people actually work
Who is it for?
Blindspots is written for CISOs, cybersecurity and human-risk leaders, security awareness professionals, risk and governance teams, executives, people leaders and anyone responsible for building a more resilient security culture.
If your organization has invested in security but people are still expected to make the right decision under imperfect conditions, this book will help you understand the gap.
