People remain the primary attack vector for organisations, with nearly all breaches involving human error or malicious intent. In a digital world overloaded with data, human mistakes continue to be a leading cause of compromise. Emerging technologies will accelerate data flow and give bad actors more sophisticated tools to deceive us, making human risk management more critical than ever.
We are delighted to host this event in partnership with BT Group, where we will focus on human risk management and the power of collaboration. Throughout the day, we’ll look at ways to assess and refine our approach to digital resilience. We will explore how we can transform employees into our strongest line of defence and measure the effectiveness of security awareness, risk mitigation, and engagement strategies.
Our discussions will revolve around how we can adapt our organisations’ culture to the evolving threat landscape, ensuring security awareness is not just a box-ticking exercise, as well as how collaboration across teams and industries strengthens security posture.
We look forward to welcoming you to Birmingham, the City of a Thousand Trades, to explore these crucial topics and drive forward the conversation on human risk management.
