Your Workplace is Becoming a Cybersecurity Nightmare
Tuesday, 21 July, 2026
Slack messages, shared documents, AI copilots, Microsoft Teams, email, and constant notifications were supposed to make work faster. Instead, they may be creating the perfect environment for cybercriminals. In this episode of Today in Tech, Keith Shaw speaks with Rob Juncker, chief product and technology officer at Mimecast, about how attackers are exploiting workplace complexity, employee burnout, notification fatigue, and trust. They discuss how cyberattacks now move across email, collaboration platforms, phone calls, and AI tools, making malicious requests look like a normal part of the workday. The conversation also explores prompt-injection attacks, AI voice cloning, deepfakes, business email compromise, shared-document manipulation, shadow AI, and highly personalized scams. Are employees really the weakest link in cybersecurity, or have companies created work environments that move faster than humans can safely process? Topics include: • How attackers exploit workplace overload • Why phishing messages now look like normal work • AI-powered impersonation and voice cloning • Cyberattacks across Slack, Teams, email, and phone calls • Prompt injection hidden inside emails • The security risks of shadow AI • Why employee shaming may make security worse • How companies can reduce human risk without slowing work Subscribe to Today in Tech for more conversations about AI, cybersecurity, emerging technology, and the changing workplace.
