To err is human, to keep doing it is idiotic. Why do we keep shooting ourselves in both feet?

There’s more shiny silver bullets than we can shake a stick at. Each one promises some variant of greater efficacy. So why, with all of this tech, are we still falling foul of attackers? Why is awareness and common sense the most overused terms in security but are never practiced.

About this session

More attacks, higher-profile news items and yet more new and improved solutions that promise to keep you secure, make you a nice cuppa and solve world hunger all in one plug and play package. So why do we keep falling foul of the same old tired routes into organisations when we dig deeper into the anatomy of breaches?

We hear common sense, we hear awareness, we hear your staff are ‘your first and greatest line of defence’. But do we listen? Are we engaged? Or are we still, still in 2020, ticking boxes on spreadsheets, collecting our certificates of compliance and blindly ignoring the biggest elephant in the room we’ve ever had the unfortunate pleasure of sitting next to.

Join us as we explore what’s going on, what’s going wrong and some simple ways we can begin to turn the tide of keeping ourselves, our organisations and our loved ones safe and secure in an online world.
