Lightning Talk | How Understanding Behavior Reduces Security Risk

In this talk Tim introduces the psychology and behavior science behind how we make decisions under pressure. From Kahneman’s System 1 and System 2, through deeper behavioral models that offer real insight into why our people do what they do. People-centric security risk isn’t an awareness or engagement problem, it’s a behavioral challenge. And so an understanding of how we really think, learn and behave at points of risk is fundamental to target and measurably change behavior. Tim will explore Dual Process Theory, nudge theory models like EAST and MINDSPACE, behavior models such as ABC and B=MAP. And offer some simple guidance as to how to use these in your programmes.
