About the Event

Your current staff, your greatest weapon against cyber crime

For many people security remains a technology challenge, practitioners however understand the importance of the human factors. Ensuring and improving the awareness of staff and students and ensuring that security teams and IT staff are skilled and knowledgeable as well as developed and organised to have the most impact on the threats we face is vitally important.

Through a mixture of inspirational case studies, presentations and breakout discussions this event will explore how to enhance the cyber security diversity and capabilities of available staff to support the development of a consistent and positive cyber security conscious culture across institutions. Attendees will also be able to provide feedback into future initiatives.
