𝙄𝙛 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙎𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙩, 𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙑𝙪𝙡𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 by @mikko became a candidate for our Hall of Fame by weaving technical insight with human stories, showing how every connected thing holds risk.

Why this matters during #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth:
1. In a hyperconnected world, vulnerability is the shadow companion of innovation.
2. Technology alone cannot defend. The human factor is equally critical.
3. Stories fuel understanding. A cautionary tale sticks longer than dry technical specs.#CyberCanonHoFCandidate #SecurityCulture #CybersecurityBooks
