Most people think the biggest cyber threat is a shadowy hacker in a hoodie.

After two decades investigating cyber criminals I can tell you the real answer is far more human.

The intelligence community has used a framework called M.I.C.E for decades to explain why people betray their country. I've spent years applying it to explain why people and organizations get compromised online.

M.I.C.E stands for: Money. Ideology. Curiosity. Ego.

These are the four core motivations behind virtually every cyber attack I've ever investigated. And understanding WHY an attacker acts changes everything about how you defend against them.

→ Money-motivated attackers move fast. Smash and grab.

→ Ideology-motivated attackers are patient. They'll wait months.

→ Curiosity-interest and inquisitiveness leaving to growth .

→ Ego-driven hackers want you to KNOW they were there.

Each motivation requires a completely different defensive posture.

That's the foundation of my new book: How MICE Threaten Cyber Security.

If you work in security, HR, risk, or lead a team - this framework will
change how you think about your threat landscape.

It's available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0awR4gNr
