2. Discussing Key Elements of Offensive Security: Pen Testing and Red Teaming – Pablo Zurro – ESW #306
Organizations today operate under the constant looming threat of cyber attacks. While reactive cybersecurity measures will help organizations respond to past and present threats, offensive measures are the only chance to get ahead of attackers and beat them to the punch. There is now a greater call for offensive solutions like penetration testing and red teaming to evaluate environments so security gaps can be identified and closed before a breach. Join us as we discuss how these solutions work both independently and together, as well as practical ways organizations can build or mature an offensive security strategy.

3. Let’s Talk BS! Human Factors in Cybersecurity – Dr. Inka Karppinen – ESW #306
Inka talks about harnessing Behavioural Science (BS) to influence people’s cyber security behaviours. Focusing on psychology theories (e.g. Behaviour change wheel) she explores some of our barriers (and motivations) to cybersecurity. What are our FMEs ('frequently made excuses') to taking protective action online and how organisations' could create a supportive security culture.
