Synopsis and overview of the session
Depending on the report you read, 82% to 95% of cyber incidents are directly related to human error. The evolution of Security Awareness Training is now moving towards Engagement and Security Culture, also referred to as human risk management and human layer protection.
Historically the IT Department has been responsible for cybersecurity. The attack vector has increased exponentially over the last ten years with technological developments, increased internet speed, accessibility, the growth of mobile devices and, more recently, the move to remote working have meant that cybersecurity is literally on the move as we take our devices everywhere.
As a result, the responsibility when it comes to cybersecurity has spread from IT to literally everyone in an organisation. This comes with challenges and frustrations with employee engagement and security awareness training programs.
Are people not completing the training? Not reporting phishing emails? Still not understanding that cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility.
Focus Network in partnership with Knowbe4 look forward to welcoming an elite group of cyber security leaders from Melbourne to delve deeper into the following areas;
- Effectiveness of Security Awareness Training and whether your current programs are adequately engaging employees and fostering a security-conscious culture.
- Transition to Engagement and Security Culture where we will look deeper into the shift towards engagement-based approaches and building a strong security culture within the organisation.
- Challenges in Employee Engagement.
- Enhancing Cybersecurity Responsibility and looking deeper into strategies for reinforcing the message that cybersecurity is everyone’s responsibility, throughout your organisation.
