Cyber Security – Building a Security Minded Culture
3:20 p.m. – 4:45 p.m.
The statistics around cybersecurity incidents caused by human error continue to be alarming and on the increase. As hackers become more and more sophisticated about cybersecurity breaches, the methods by which they use social engineering tactics to dupe, manipulate and trick end users into taking actions that initiate and unleash threats become equally sophisticated. Risk mitigation from Cybersecurity threats cannot rest with and be the responsibility of technical IT professionals only. Ongoing education, awareness and culture building is the most formidable Cybersecurity risk mitigation strategy.
