"The Weakest Link is a much-needed antidote to the current fad of endless security awareness training. It offers an alternative based on actual evidence, one that puts user understanding at the start of the process and cyber-resilience at the end."
—Bruce Schneier, author of Click Here to Kill Everybody: Security and Survival in a Hyperconnected World
“Phishing attacks won’t be going away anytime soon. The Weakest Link gives a very actionable outline on how this problem can be addressed by any size organization. Focus especially on page 161 and follow that guide!”
—Christopher Hadnagy, CEO of Social-Engineer, LLC, Founder of the Social-Engineering Framework, Author of Phishing Dark Waters and Human Hacking, Professor of Social Engineering at University of Arizona

—Si Pavitt, Head of Cyber Awareness, Behaviour, and Culture – UK Ministry of Defence
