Increasing Human Vigilance
fishing in a sea of cyberattacks

Every day our news feeds are littered with stories about breaches that happened because of someone being tricked into doing something they shouldn't! Let's stop that. Hook, Line, and Sinker talks about the different forms of phishing, why it is so effective in fooling us, and ways that we as security training professionals can try to get our fellow co-workers from falling for these traps. Aaron offers advice from personal experiences running campaigns as well as advice that has been picked up over the years.

Human element breaches remain perfunctory, with one touted silver bullet: security awareness and training (SA&T). This is a market that has grown exponentially and yet, with all this training and quizzing, human-related breaches continue to increase year over year. Join us for this session to examine the major expected changes in SA&T as the industry transitions to an approach that centers on behavior: human risk management. This new approach prioritizes positively influencing behavior and instilling a security culture within organizations. The session will provide attendees with Forrester’s definition of human risk management and answer questions like: What are the drivers and challenges of security awareness and training? How is the human risk management market maturing? What are the challenges, opportunities, and practicalities of moving from SA&T to human risk management?
