 It’s been about a year since Kolide launched Honest Security, and it’s time to look back and reflect on how the guide has been received by the general security community, Kolide’s customers, and what we’ve learned thus far.

Much of this story can be told through the eyes of Harlie Hardage, a senior security specialist at 1Password who helped bring Kolide to the company in 2021. Having found the values of Honest Security were so well aligned with the strict values at 1Password (autonomy, responsibility, and kindness), it was an easy decision to make.

In this podcast, Kolide’s CEO, Jason Meller, will discuss Kolide’s journey putting Honest Security into practice in our own product, the compromises we’ve made to adhere to those values, and the future of user-focused security tools.

At the same time, Harlie Hardage will discuss 1Password’s approach to building a strong internal security culture in a rapidly growing team, the tools they’ve looked into that have been compatible (and incompatible) with that approach, and how they are sharing this knowledge outwardly through new efforts like 1Password University.

Cybersecurity is a vital part of modern-day life, yet everyday users still struggle to grasp even the basics of cybersecurity. Organizations are taking the same approach to cybersecurity that they have with every other training topic; by using slideshows, presentations, pamphlets, manuals, webinars, seminars, or video productions. It is not being taken into account that these standard training types might be ineffective, causing trainees to feel overwhelmed, overloaded, confused, or bored. It is no secret that people are the weakest link in a security ecosystem, so great cybersecurity training is pertinent for all types of organizations. This research study aimed to develop an adaptive serious game that not only teaches users about cybersecurity in an engaging and personalized manner, but one that also measures the training’s effectiveness in a way that many existing cybersecurity serious games fail to do so. By measuring improvement within the game, we can gather more meaningful data and derive truer conclusions about the usefulness of utilizing serious games to teach cybersecurity.
