Human Factor in Cybersecurity Blog: Insights, Awareness Strategies & Evolving Threats

Cybersecurity today is as much about people as it is about technology. At Lucy Security, we focus on tackling the human factor in cybersecurity — helping organisations reduce risk by turning employees into active defenders through awareness, simulation, and behaviour change.

This blog brings together our most up-to-date thinking on the intersection of human behaviour and cyber risk, covering everything from phishing trends and training strategies to regulatory compliance and simulation design. With threat actors increasingly targeting individuals through deception, urgency, and social engineering, equipping users with the skills to recognise and resist attacks has never been more critical.

Across our posts, you’ll find practical guidance drawn from real customer use cases and field-proven techniques. Topics range from designing a resilient security awareness program, to interpreting user behaviour metrics, to staying ahead of evolving tactics like quishing and multi-stage phishing campaigns. We also regularly share updates from the Lucy Security platform, including new features, phishing template releases, and upcoming tools that make it easier to simulate realistic attacks and measure improvements across teams and departments.

Our blog isn’t just commentary — it’s a resource for CISOs, IT managers, and compliance officers looking to embed awareness into daily operations. Whether you’re launching your first campaign or optimising training across multiple business units, our content supports your journey with actionable insight and a deep understanding of human risk.

If you’re working in a highly regulated industry such as healthcare, education, or finance, we also offer sector-specific advice and use cases to help align your awareness efforts with standards like ISO/IEC 27001, NIS2, and GDPR.

At Lucy, we believe that people are not the weakest link — they’re the most powerful defence when supported with the right tools, training, and feedback. Our mission is to help you build a culture of awareness that doesn’t rely on fear, but fosters confidence, engagement, and continuous improvement.
