In this episode of CCN Conversations, host Francois Guay speaks with David Shipley, CEO of Beauceron Security.

David shares his unconventional journey into cybersecurity, from serving as a soldier and working as a newspaper reporter and digital marketer, to helping respond to a cyber incident at the University of New Brunswick and eventually building one of Canada's leading cybersecurity awareness companies.

The conversation explores why cybersecurity is ultimately about people, process, and culture, not just technology. David discusses how organizations can better motivate people to make safer decisions, why traditional awareness programs often miss the mark, and how psychology, behavioral science, and engagement play a critical role in reducing cyber risk.

They also discuss entrepreneurship, resilience, the realities of building a cybersecurity startup, career advice for newcomers, and why supporting Canadian cybersecurity innovation has never been more important.

This episode is a thoughtful discussion about leadership, motivation, cybersecurity culture, and the future of Canada's cyber ecosystem.
