Marco Ramírez of KnowBe4 challenges traditional security awareness approaches, revealing why humans make irrational security decisions and how behavioral science "nudges" and storytelling create lasting behavioral change.
Human psychology remains the most vulnerable attack vector in cybersecurity, regardless of how advanced your technical defenses might be. This session challenges the conventional approach to security awareness, arguing that understanding and working with human nature - rather than fighting against it - creates more effective protection against modern threats.
You will discover why traditional training methods often fail to change behavior and learn practical alternatives grounded in behavioral science.
The session will cover:
- Why humans make irrational security decisions even when they possess the correct information;
- Practical implementation of "nudges" - subtle environmental cues that guide users toward secure behaviors without requiring conscious effort or expertise;
- The power of storytelling and contextual learning in creating lasting behavioral change.
