Mitcheal Veenstra and Cecil Pineda explore how organizations can build a human firewall by improving security culture, rewarding positive behavior, and preparing employees to recognize and respond to AI-driven cyberthreats.
Organizations can no longer rely solely on technology to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats. As artificial intelligence-powered phishing, social engineering and targeted attacks become more convincing, employees play a critical role in identifying and reporting suspicious activity. Building a strong security culture requires moving beyond compliance-driven training and fear-based metrics toward engagement, positive reinforcement and shared responsibility. By focusing on employee behavior, reporting habits and leadership support, organizations can transform their workforce into an active layer of defense against evolving threats.
In this session, you will learn:
- How organizations can shift from viewing employees as security liabilities to valuable security assets;
- Why traditional awareness metrics are losing effectiveness and how behavior-based measures improve outcomes;
- How gamification, AI-powered training and leadership engagement can strengthen security culture and reporting.
