The Human Element of Security Awareness – Brian Reed – BSW #235
It is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, but security awareness is a lot tougher than just dedicating a month to awareness activities. Security awareness is a journey, requiring motivation along the way.
Brian Reed, Cybersecurity Evangelist from Proofpoint, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the security awareness journey and how the human elements can help motivate us. Brian will discuss how personalized content and gamification can help achieve better outcomes for organizations and the individual.
