Title of Talk: Best Practices for Building a Security Awareness and Training Program Description of Talk: Searching on Google for the phrase "Humans are the weakest link", one would find almost 100,000 results. However, by properly educating humans and making them aware, they can be the most vital asset and, in turn, become the human firewall for an organization. Cybercriminals are successfully gaining access to organization's systems, data, and infrastructure in various industries worldwide. They are doing it the most common way, tricking the humans into clicking on a link and effectively bypassing the firewalls and opening the organization's proverbial front door. It is quickly becoming known that Security Awareness Training programs are crucial to reducing the organization's risk of an attack. However, what does it take to operate and maintain these programs successfully? Organizations need to have a robust security awareness and training program for all employees from the front desk to the boardroom. Learning Objectives: Understand the purpose of a Security Awareness Training Program and how to keep up with emerging social engineering threats How various psychological concepts can get employees to accept the training and how everyone can be the human firewall.
