Cybersecurity Has a People Problem (Topic: Malware, Phishing, Ransomware and Data Security)

I asked a cybersecurity expert what causes most data breaches. I expected a tech answer—what I got was a leadership lesson.

In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, I interview Christian Espinosa, CEO of Blue Goat Cyber and author of The Smartest Person in the Room.

Christian explains that the biggest cybersecurity failures are not due to bad software or outdated firewalls—but to how people communicate, lead, and work together. It’s a wake-up call for executives who think tech alone will protect their company.

If you’re a business owner, HR executive, or leader responsible for protecting your people and data, this conversation is a must-watch.

Key Takeaways

✅ Most breaches stem from people problems, not tech flaws
✅ Ego and poor communication open the door to attacks
✅ Cybersecurity is a culture and clarity issue
