Developing a strong security culture is essential—but what does that really involve in practice?
In this session, John Scott challenges the notion that ‘security culture’ is a single thing, breaking it down into six actionable areas where teams can exert real influence. Expect clear, practical guidance on where to focus effort, how to shift attitudes, and simple ways to steer your organisation towards better security behaviours.
With a critical but constructive perspective, this talk will help technical leaders move beyond vague aspirations and take concrete steps to shape security culture where it actually happens: in daily work.

With all the subtly of a pinball on an electrified table we’re going to take a look at the. current landscape. A landscape with the all stability of a small boat in a big storm. We’ll discuss AI advantages, AI failures, poor assumptions, and rushed deployments. Mix that with along with a healthy lump of quantum risk, slow planning, and constantly shifting horizons. This talk is about making sense of that chaos and figuring out how to prioritise when every decision seems urgent, and every direction has the allure of a poorly lit alleyway.
