With decades in cybersecurity, Benjamin Corll has seen threat landscapes evolve from simple antivirus battles to AI-driven social engineering. For Corll, every breach traces back to people—both as the strongest defense and the weakest link. In this conversation, he unpacks the persistence of ransomware and business email compromise, the rise of AI-assisted fraud, and why criminals increasingly “log in” instead of “hack in.” He explains why defense in depth must integrate technology with human training, process checkpoints, and zero trust principles. Most importantly, Corll shares how to make awareness programs relevant, engaging, and role-specific—turning employees into active sensors who strengthen security culture from within.
