Most organisations train their people on cybersecurity every year. Most of those organisations still get breached. Not because the training was wrong. Because awareness without conviction does not change behaviour. Knowing what a phishing email looks like is not the same as having the instinct to stop before you click.
Alvin Rodrigues has spent over 30 years in IT and cybersecurity figuring out why people remain its biggest vulnerability. He is the founder of CyFiSafe, a behaviour-change consultancy that helps organisations turn their people from a cyber liability into a genuine line of defence. He does not start with technology. He starts with people, understanding how they think, how they get targeted, and what it takes to change behaviour that sticks long after the training room empties.
His central argument is one the industry does not want to hear. People are not the weakest link. With the right training, conviction, and habits, they become your first and last line of defence.
He has held senior leadership roles at Fortinet, Forcepoint, and Infoblox, spoken at major industry conferences, chaired executive roundtables, and delivered workshops for C-suite leaders and digital communities across the region. He is a cybersecurity adjunct lecturer to Master’s degree students at ESSEC Business School and is a LinkedIn Top Voice in Cybersecurity.
He has been quoted by regional media including Computer Weekly, CIO World Asia, Money FM 89.3, CyberSec Asia, Nation Thailand, and Express Computer. He is the author of You Are Being Watched, contributed to the parenting book Planted with Purpose, and is currently writing his latest title for Penguin.
Alvin works with organisations that are serious about changing how their people think and behave, not just ticking a compliance box. He delivers keynotes, moderates panels, and runs executive workshops and corporate training programmes across Asia Pacific.
