‘Making Cybersecurity Work for Everyone: Better Awareness, Better Behaviour and Broader Routes into Cyber’ with Marie Jeffery
SEASON SIX: In this week's episode I chat to Marie Jeffery, a former detective and cybercrime investigator who made the move from policing into information security.
We talk about what really happens behind the scenes of a cybercrime investigation, why traditional security awareness training often misses the mark, and how organisations can build better security behaviours without relying on fear or blame.
We also explore why phishing simulations should focus on encouraging people to report suspicious activity rather than catching them out, how to get everyone from employees to board members engaged in security, and why more women should consider cybersecurity as a career, even without a technical background.
About Our Guest: Marie Jeffery is an Information Security professional, currently working with Blue Light Card. She brings a broad and practical perspective to cyber security, shaped by a career that spans policing and information security.
Marie began her career in policing, where she developed strong investigative skills, attention to detail, and an understanding of risk, threat, and human behaviour. She later transitioned into cyber security, where she now focuses on strengthening organisational resilience and improving security awareness.
Her work centres on helping colleagues understand real-world risks and embed secure behaviours into everyday activity. She is known for a clear, pragmatic approach that cuts through technical complexity and makes security relevant to non-specialists.
Marie is particularly focused on building a positive security culture, ensuring that cyber security is understood, accessible, and aligned with how people actually work.
