Cybersecurity programs have long focused on training employees to recognize threats and avoid mistakes. However, as attacks become more sophisticated, organizations must rethink whether awareness alone is enough. This panel discussion brings together leaders from law enforcement, enterprise security, healthcare and small business to examine the balance between human behavior and effective cyber defenses. The session explores how organizations can build resilient systems that anticipate human error, foster a culture of reporting and accountability, and strengthen foundational security controls to reduce risk in an increasingly complex threat landscape.

In this session, you will gain insights into:

• Balancing human awareness and technical controls to create more resilient cybersecurity programs;
• Building a security culture that encourages reporting, accountability and continuous improvement;
• Strengthening foundational defenses through identity security, least-privilege access, incident readiness, and system design that limits the impact of human error.
