Leveraging the Human Factor
Session
Thursday, November 16, 2023 11:15—12:15
When it comes to cybersecurity, many people focus on red/blue teams and technical measures such as servers, firewalls, encryption, and intrusion prevention systems. However, one crucial factor that is often overlooked is the human factor. All of these technical measures will count for nothing when it comes to matter of insider threats. Even the most robust cybersecurity measures can be rendered ineffective by social engineering threats.
In this keynote, I will present several use cases to demonstrate why it is essential to consider the human factor in any organization’s cyber threat landscape.
Learn why the use of artificial intelligence (AI) through threat actors makes a "new security awareness" on the user side essential.
Key areas of focus:
- How can AI-based approaches increase the effectiveness of security awareness campaigns?
- Which security awareness measures have been proven to increase your security without spending a lot of resources?
- How does Threat Intelligence and Security Awareness as-a-Service work?
The speakers will show you how AI in threat intelligence and security awareness campaigns strengthen your threat protection!
The 2023 Cybersecurity Workforce Study identifies a daunting 4 million-person workforce gap. This shortfall in qualified candidates hampers industry growth. To tackle this challenge, the industry must broaden its recruitment scope, targeting individuals with potential to learn, including those from diverse backgrounds like business, arts, or engineering. Cultivating entry-level opportunities for students, young professionals, and career changers is vital for industry expansion. However, assessing cybersecurity aptitude in candidates without direct experience poses a challenge. Traditionally, the industry has lacked accessible entry points for newcomers. In this presentation, ISC2's CEO, Clar Rosso, advocates for a clear and adaptable pathway to cybersecurity careers, offering data-driven insights and strategies to ignite recruitment efforts and welcome new talent into the field.
