Is Effective Employee behavior change for cyber-security human factors possible?
For Security Awareness to be effective it must change the behaviors of employees and ideally lead to a mature security culture in your organization.
Many programs that do not use adult education techniques and neuroscience fail to achieve behavior change and can even make things worse. Once employees start to have a negative impression about information security, feel helpless or begin to consider reme diation as
punitive, great damage has been done to the security culture and this can be difficult to reverse.
This fun and interactive presentation will help you to gain an understanding about effective Security Awareness program creation and implementation as well as to build buy -in for a mature security culture.
