Learn how positive reinforcement, AI, and cyber literacy are driving a true training revolution in this episode of The Digital Shift.

In this episode, we sit down with Craig Taylor, Co-Founder & CEO of CyberHoot. With over 25 years of cybersecurity experience and leadership roles at CSC, JP Morgan Chase, and VistaPrint, Craig has dedicated his career to solving one of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity: the human firewall.

This conversation uncovers how CyberHoot scaled from 45,000 to 80,000 users in just 18 months, filed a patent for its positive reinforcement training methodology, and is leading the way with psychology-driven, gamified training to fight modern cyber threats. We also dive into industry trends, AI-driven phishing, ransomware evolution, and the company’s future growth plans with partnerships like AARP and AAA.

Craig Taylor is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) since 2001, and a 30-year veteran of Cybersecurity. In 2014 he co-founded a cybersecurity training company - CyberHoot - to bring positive reinforcement and Engagement back to cybersecurity training. During his career, Craig has led cybersecurity organizations in Online Services (@CSC), Finance (@JP Morgan Chase), and manufacturing (@Vistaprint). Additionally, Craig also leads a virtual CISO consulting service that delivers virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) services to more than 3o companies (all sizes and industries). Craig's passion project is cancer fundraising - he and his son have raised over 150k for cancer research by riding in the Pan Mass Challenge for the last 11 years.

Key highlights from this episode:

📊 Positive reinforcement training vs. traditional phishing tests

🔒 Why weak passwords and human errors cause most breaches

🚀 How AI is fueling more sophisticated cyberattacks

💼 Partnerships with MSPs, universities, and large organizations

🌍 Growth strategies through gamification and global expansion

⚠️ Customer retention and acquisition challenges in cybersecurity

If you’re a business leader, IT professional, or cybersecurity enthusiast, this episode offers powerful insights on how to strengthen your defenses and build a culture of security.

This episode explores the evolution of the cybersecurity industry, the rise of sophisticated ransomware operations, and why AI with human oversight is essential in today’s rapidly changing threat landscape. George explains how cybercriminals now run structured organizations with global recruiting and $140K+ salaries, while companies face an average 10–15% annual chance of breach.

Key highlights from this episode:

🚨 The evolution of ransomware from $500 extortion attempts to $50M+ corporate-level attacks.

💼 Sales strategies in cybersecurity, including the “life preserver” analogy and why genuine value matters more than fear-based selling.

🤖 AI in threat management: from 10 alerts a day to over 10,000, and the critical role of human validation.

🔒 Authentication’s future: why machine-level authentication will replace vulnerable MFA methods.

🛡️ Risk & defense strategies: penetration testing every 6 months, insider threat prevention, and ingrained breach response culture.

🌐 Universal targeting: why every organization—no matter how small—is a potential victim of cybercrime.

George also emphasizes the importance of consistent security vigilance, smarter hiring practices, and moving from checkbox security exercises to practical, proactive strategies.

If you’re a business leader, IT professional, or cybersecurity enthusiast, this episode will reshape the way you think about cyber risk, AI, and the future of digital defense.
