Is cybersecurity’s primary attack surface people?

Technology alone cannot stop today’s cyber threats. While organisations continue to invest in advanced security tools, attackers increasingly target the people behind them. In this interview, Peter Connolly, CEO of Toro Solutions, explains why human behaviour has become the primary attack surface in modern security, how criminals exploit trust through social engineering and AI-powered attacks, and why building a culture of resilience is critical to protecting organisations. He also explores the convergence of cyber, physical and human security, and the leadership capabilities needed to stay ahead of an evolving threat landscape.
