Episode 64: Rob Lee

In this episode of CYBR.SEC.CAST, the hosts sit down with Dr. Kelley Misata, CEO of Sightline Security, to explore the often-overlooked cybersecurity challenges facing nonprofit organizations. Misata shares her powerful origin story — how a personal experience with cyberstalking led her to pursue a PhD in cybersecurity and ultimately launch a nonprofit dedicated to helping mission-driven organizations assess and improve their security posture. She also discusses the misconceptions surrounding nonprofit cybersecurity, the communication gap between security professionals and nonprofit leaders, and why “nonprofit” is simply a tax designation, not a reflection of an organization’s sophistication or risk exposure. Misata also explains how Sightline Security’s Kickstart program, built around a simplified interpretation of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, helps nonprofits identify practical security priorities and build sustainable cyber resilience.

Disorder, Destruction, and Disruption with John Dickson 

In this episode, Michael and Sam sit down with Dr. Dustin Sachs (DCS), CEO and founder of Psybercog Labs, to explore why humans - not technology - are often the limiting factor in cybersecurity. They dive into cognitive overload, bias, and decision fatigue, and how these hidden forces shape security outcomes. Dustin also shares his unconventional path into cyber and explains how Psybercog Labs uses behavioral science to uncover decision-making blind spots and help organizations execute smarter, more effective security strategies.Things Mentioned:<ul><li>AI-Assisted Cybersecurity Team Discovers 12 OpenSSL Vulnerabilities, Claims Humans are the Limiting Factor – Some Vulnerabilities have been Around for Decades - <a href='https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/ai-assisted-cybersecurity-team-discovers-12-openssl-vulnerabilities-claims-humans-are-the-limiting-factor-some-vulnerabilities-have-been-around-for-decades'>https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/cyber-security/ai-assisted-cybersecurity-team-discovers-12-openssl-vulnerabilities-claims-humans-are-the-limiting-factor-some-vulnerabilities-have-been-around-for-decades</a></li><li>Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgement by Daniel Kahneman - <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise:_A_Flaw_in_Human_Judgment'>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise:_A_Flaw_in_Human_Judgment</a></li><li>Psybercog Labs - <a href='https://www.psybercog.com/'>https://www.psybercog.com</a> </li></ul>Do you have a question for the hosts?
