Rexina’s video of her dad that we shared a few weeks ago clearly struck a bit of a chord.

And it makes sense. That’s what cyber risk often looks like in real life. Not complex systems or technical jargon, just everyday moments, emails, links, and quick decisions while you’re getting on with the job.

We’ve put together a short blog that builds on that and shares a few simple things worth being aware of: https://cx.page/9gwbd8
