The Cyber Crisis We’re Ignoring - fear isn’t the solution
When her neighbour’s house was burgled, she chained her door the next night. A few months later, when another neighbour was targeted, she installed cameras. So, why, when she heard about the business next to her being hit by ransomware, did she not take immediate action?
This session dives deep into the psychology behind cyber security education and why it’s failing to drive real change.
With individual losses up 17% year-on-year and the Australian economy now losing billions, we’re clearly missing the mark. It’s not a lack of information: it’s a breakdown in how we deliver it. Fear may be increasing anxiety, but it’s not inspiring action.
