Cybersecurity Is About People: Cybersecurity Insights with Jeannette Jarvis (CTA).

In this English-language episode of My Precious Data, cybersecurity expert Eddy Willems sits down with longtime colleague and industry veteran Jeannette Jarvis from CTA.Eddy and Jeannette go back to the late 1990s, a time when cybersecurity was still a niche domain, long before it became a boardroom priority. Their conversation reflects not only decades of experience, but also the evolution of the industry through very different lenses.This episode also marks a small but meaningful milestone: it’s the first time Eddy welcomes a female cybersecurity expert to the podcast, bringing a fresh and valuable perspective to the discussion.“Cybersecurity has always been about understanding behaviour, not just technology,” says Jeannette Jarvis.“We often focus on systems, but it’s people who make the difference between security and vulnerability,” adds Eddy Willems.Together, they explore how the human factor, awareness, and communication have become central pillars of modern cybersecurity.Topics discussed:The evolution of cybersecurity since the late 90s The importance of human behaviour in security Awareness, education, and communication challenges Diversity and perspectives in cybersecurity Lessons learned from decades in the field “Technology changes fast but human behaviour changes much slower. That’s where the real challenge lies.” – Jeannette JarvisA thoughtful, honest and engaging conversation between two experts who have witnessed and helped shape the evolution of cybersecurity over decades.
