Can we change behaviours in real-time? A behavioural science approach

When 90% of cyber-attacks start with the human user, we need to move beyond tackling the human factor with a tick box approach to awareness. We need measurable behaviour change. In this talk, ThinkCyber unpicks the science and theory behind behaviour models to help us understand why risky behaviours happen, and more importantly how to stop them.
We will explore how a real-time approach can allow awareness to form part of incident response and actively prevent incidents. This talk will offer real-world examples and ways that all organisations can apply the theories to drive secure behaviour change.
