Let’s face it: if securing your organization was as easy as slapping a “Don’t Click That” poster on the breakroom fridge, we’d all be out of a job and phishing emails would have gone extinct with dial-up modems, but here we are, watching yet another “urgent invoice” slip past the filters and straight into someone’s inbox because, shocker, humans are still humans.

The hard truth? No matter how much we talk about zero trust and AI-powered defenses, it’s the person who clicks first and asks questions later that keeps us all up at night. The good news? Those same unpredictable humans are also your best untapped asset, if we work to nudge them in the right direction.

This fast-paced, no-holds-barred session will drag human risk management out of the compliance basement and into the spotlight where it belongs. We’ll rip apart the tired “mandatory training” rituals and look at what actually works to change behaviors (hint: it’s not more PowerPoints). Armed with the latest research, some real-world examples, and a few embarrassing stories, we’ll show you how organizations are using psychology, friendly competition, and a dash of data science to finally move the needle.

Whether you’re a CISO, HR leader, or just someone who cringes every time you see “Password123!” on a sticky note, you’ll walk away ready to champion human-centric security that actually works.
In this session, you’ll learn:

• Why most security awareness training fails (and how to fix it without putting everyone to sleep)
• The real reasons your people keep clicking—and how to spot (and measure) risky behavior before it becomes a headline
• How to harness behavioral science, data, and a bit of game theory to make security stick
• Practical, actionable strategies to turn your weakest link into your strongest defense—no “motivational” posters required
