Why your smartest employees are your biggest vulnerability and how to turn them into your strongest defense against modern cyber threats.
Technology can stop many cyber threats—but it can't prevent human error.
This program explores why cybercriminals target people instead of systems, how social engineering attacks succeed, and practical strategies for reducing risk through better training, policies, verification procedures, and workplace culture.
Attendees will leave with actionable guidance for strengthening their organization's "human firewall" and making cybersecurity a shared responsibility.
