Cyberattacks dominate today’s headlines, and in many cases, the weakest link isn’t technology—it’s people. In this episode, cybersecurity leader and educator Francisco Garcia Martinez, a member of the Technical Operations Committee of the Cloud Security Alliance, Spanish Chapter (CSA-ES), explores why cybersecurity education must evolve to meet the realities of an AI-driven world. As some countries introduce AI into high school curricula, many education systems still rely on outdated programs that fail to teach the critical thinking and security awareness needed in today’s digital landscape. Fran discusses how universities, governments, and industry can better prepare the next generation by focusing on foundational security principles, analytical thinking, and real-world technologies like cloud and AI, ensuring cybersecurity becomes a core skill for everyone, not just technical professionals.
