Cybersecurity isn’t just about firewalls and encryption. The real risk? Human behavior.
More detailed information
Firewalls, encryption, and antivirus tools are essential, but they offer little protection if the human factor fails.
In this keynote, Nathalie Claes explores the psychology behind cybersecurity: why people underestimate risks, how cognitive biases influence decision-making, and how social engineering tactics exploit these vulnerabilities.
Through relatable examples, psychological insights, and actionable strategies, she demonstrates how organizations can influence behavior, boost awareness, and build a resilient security culture. The goal? Transforming employees from the weakest link into a powerful first line of defense.
