The Proximity Problem |
Abstract
To protect one of us, we must protect all of us. Great catch phrase but what does that really mean? How is our risk related to our organisations proximity from each other? How does this impact how our approaches work and what can we do differently to increase engagement and sustained behaviours in cyber security? In this talk Laura will take us through how proximity affects human behaviour, and how we as a cyber security community can embrace this knowledge to secure an entire country.
