The Human Factor in Cybersecurity: Risks, readiness, and the future of the profession

Cyber security isn’t just a technical challenge: it’s a human one. Employees can be both the greatest vulnerability and the strongest defence against cyber threats. This session will explore:

• What are the most common mistakes employees make and how can organisations proactively address them?
• What are the best practices for designing security measures that work with human behaviour, rather than against it?
• How can organisations move beyond awareness training to truly change security culture?
• The growing threat of unintentional insider actions: how can organisations mitigate risk without creating a culture of fear?
• What role does leadership play in setting the tone for cybersecurity culture?
• How does the cybersecurity profession itself must adapt: what skills, approaches, and mindsets will be needed in the future?
