SODAK & ADVANCED ENGAGEMENT
Advanced Engagement and Sodak join forces to dramatically improve the security of your organisation. By combining behavioural science and cycbersecurity expertise, we accurately identify the hidden behaviours that are leaving your organisation insecure and open to attack. Once identified, we create an environment together, promoting higher standards of secure behaviour from employees, contractors and visitors.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
If you want your organisation to remain a step ahead of the next security threat and if you see the increasingly effective and ever-changing threat landscape as an opportunity to learn and grow, then this workshop is for you.
2 DAY WORKSHOP
Thursday 19th & Friday 20th September
In the fight against cybercrime, both sides are continually upping their game. As a security leader within your organisation, it’s your responsibility to ensure that you and your team have the knowledge, the tools and the skills to fight cybercrime and be ahead of the curve.
Applying behavioural science to your security will significantly reduce risk.
Over two days, you will learn how Behavioural Science can provide an intelligent and considered method for dealing with human behaviours that can lead to cyber attacks and data breaches. This workshop will give you the tools and the know-how to help you, team leaders and your colleagues apply Behavioural Science to your workplace, utilising this important new tool in our security arsenal.
Keeping up to date with the latest in behavioural research will ensure that your company is equipped with the knowledge to understand the human element of security threats.
We will explore the impact of:
- The science of human behaviour
- Why we do what we do
- Why we don’t do what we should do
- How to discourage behaviours that we don’t want
- How we can encourage the behaviours we do want
- How to relate this to incident investigations
- How to facilitate a behavioural analysis and design
