14:50—15:10
 

Did you know that multitasking and distractions are some of the key reasons why people fall for phishing and social engineering attacks? Research has shown that when we're juggling tasks and dealing with cognitive overload, we're significantly more vulnerable to these deceptive tactics. In this session, Jasmine will present eye-opening research and evidence on how our natural tendencies and the demands of modern life expose us to these risks. She’ll delve into how mindfulness practices can be seamlessly integrated into an organisation's security culture and awareness programs to combat and overcome our human vulnerabilities. You'll learn how to navigate a world full of distractions, emotional triggers, and information overload while staying safe online. Jasmine will also provide actionable steps to embed this powerful mindset into your daily routine, fostering a culture of mindful cybersecurity, proactive vigilance, and mental clarity.

In the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity, mental health considerations play an essential cole. This presentation delves into the intricate relationship between mental well-being and the challenges faced in the realm of cybersecurity, with a specific focus on crisis situations.

Findings are drawn from scientific research and practical experiences gleaned from day-to-day operations within the CERT. 

During the presentation we explore:

  • Consequences of Cyberattacks: The devastating consequences of cyberattacks involving personal health data—especially sensitive mental health information—are far-reaching. We discuss the ripple effects on clients, patients, practitioners, and technology providers.
  • Addressing Mental Health in Cybersecurity Professionals: We acknowledge that mental health challenges affect cybersecurity professionals too. The stress and demands of the field can impact well-being, and fostering resilience is crucial.
