Human behavior is the most unpredictable variable in any security program, and the one most often underestimated. Gord Howells of Sofina Foods draws on building a people-centric security strategy across a 60-plant, 18,000-employee global organization to show what it really takes to move security culture from compliance checkbox to genuine commitment.

In this session, he will share insights on:

• Why selective attention and human distraction make employees the primary attack surface, and how to design security programs that account for how people actually think and behave;
• How segmenting employees by performance profile and career stage allows organizations to tailor training, messaging and risk management for maximum impact;
• How to communicate cybersecurity risk to C-suite executives in business terms using cost, downtime and ROI to secure investment and drive organizationwide accountability.
