Keynote - User Behavior: Why & How to Build a Security Culture

Chris Borales, Dir. of Information Security Awareness at Discovery, Inc.

Mark Guntrip, Group Product Marketing Director at Proofpoint

Security awareness training is more than a countermeasure to phishing and social engineering. It is the foundation for establishing people-centric security. The responsibilities of IT users continue to increase, and organizations need to infuse their cultures with security and privacy knowledge that yields risk reduction and operational improvements.

Join our experts as they discuss the importance of building a security-aware culture and how it brings qualitative and quantitative improvements. In this session, you’ll learn how a culture of security awareness helps:
    • Build a security culture that reduces risk
    • Identify key metrics for your organization’s people-centric risk
    • Improve efficiency related to help desks, training administration, and incident response
    • Meet training requirements for privacy


Session 2 - From Security Liability to Asset: Develop Proactive and Resilient Users

Susan Mackowiak, Security Awareness Program Content Sr. Director at Proofpoint

Mike Bailey, Sr. Security Awareness Strategist at Proofpoint

End users are the number one threat vector for any organization. They present the greatest risk to information security, data loss, and privacy compliance. But with the right knowledge, awareness, and tools, your users can become proactive defenders, alerting you to threats and taking action to help protect your organization. So how can you turn your users from a security liability to an asset?

Join us as our experts examine a systematic approach based on proven strategies to help you develop proactive and resilient users. In this session, we'll discuss how to:
    • Assess the knowledge and awareness needs of the organization
    • Leverage best-practices to implement a sustainable, engaging and effective program
    • Identify high-risk users, roles, and departments
    • Obtain executive buy-in and support
    • Track, communicate metrics and reports to showcase results
