Michael Farnum, CEO of CYBR.SEC.Community, reviews [*Energized Cyber Security Culture*](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GHWXXJTN?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback&ref=cybrsecmedia.com) by [Bryan Perkola](https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=dp%5Fbyline%5Fsr%5Fbook%5F1?ie=UTF8&field-author=Bryan+Perkola&text=Bryan+Perkola&sort=relevancerank&search-alias=books&ref=cybrsecmedia.com) — a Houston-area CISO. His verdict: unlike most awareness books, this one **fuses a marketer's playbook with an engineer's rigor**, treating employees as part of the security stack while leading with empathy.
