Managers, security specialists, IT staff, and other professionals often complain that employees, customers, and users are stupid. But what is “stupid”? In general, don’t accuse someone in your organization of being stupid. Instead, identify and adjust your own failings in bad employment or training practices, as well as the processes and technologies that enable the “stupidity”.

Speaker: Ira Winkler
