Talk Description: Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue—it’s a people issue. While organizations continue to invest in technical defenses, human behavior remains one of the most important factors in preventing cyber incidents. This session explores how organizations can build a culture of cybersecurity awareness by transforming employees from potential vulnerabilities into their strongest line of defense.
