Session Title: Building A Cyber Culture In A Business Whilst Gaining Board Involvement
This is an area where some organisations can say the right things but don’t actually change behaviour. If you get this right, it becomes a genuine competitive advantage, not just a compliance tick-box.
Learn how to build a Cyber Culture, influence staff behaviour and gain board involvement.
Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker and networking drinks with light refreshments will be served after the presentation.
