I absolutely loved having John as our instructor. The experiences he shared really added to the content of the course. He was well aware of the cultural nuances among the students, was patient and available.
John is an excellent instructor! He is able to share his knowledge in a very genuine and effective way. He is also very good at maintaining your attention.
JOHN IS AMAZING!!!!!!!

Security isn’t just a technical problem, it’s a culture problem. This interactive workshop explores how security leaders can shape culture, align security with business goals, and build real organizational resilience, then put those skills to the test in a fast-paced Cyber42 leadership simulation.

Generative AI has changed the ground on which our organisations operate. Convincing messages appear instantly. Identity can be convincingly faked. Information is abundant, but wisdom seems in short supply.

In this talk we will look at the six levers of culture, and how they can be used to encourage your organisation to be more rather than less secure.

Security awareness training is like salt. Like every dish, every organisation needs it. Often we ask our colleagues to take security awareness training once each year - a big old mouthful of salt - and then act surprised when people continue to make mistakes, dislike security, and do not develop a learning mindset.
