The Monsters in Your Closet: Everyone Has A Cyber Confession
Something spooky is brewing this October…
We’re bringing together leaders and experts from across cybersecurity, human risk, culture and leadership for a Halloween-themed event that’s anything but your usual cybersecurity gathering.
The Monsters in Your Closet: Everyone Has a Cyber Confession is an afternoon of honest conversations, real-world experiences and interactive sessions designed to explore the human side of cybersecurity.
Expect thought-provoking speakers, uncomfortable truths, practical insights and a few surprises along the way.
The full event is CPD accredited, giving attendees the opportunity to earn CPD credits while exploring practical approaches to cybersecurity, human risk, security culture and leadership.
