## Webinar Replay

We were extremely fortunate to have one of Australia's leading Cyber Security Experts on this webinar.

## Cyber Security Expert - Michael Parrant

He shared valuable insights into the significant role that human behavior and psychology play in cyber security breaches.

The replay covered topics such as social engineering, Director cyber capability scores, and cybersecurity management strategies.

## Unpacking the Human Contribution to Cyber Risk

During the webinar replay, the Michael discussed how social engineering plays a significant role in cyber security breaches.

Cybercriminals use tactics such as phishing scams to exploit human vulnerabilities, making it crucial for individuals and organisations to recognize the warning signs and take steps to protect themselves.

Michael then provided valuable insights into the current cyber threat landscape and highlighted the need for individuals and organisations to stay vigilant and prepared.

## Cybersecurity Management Strategies

Michael shared strategies to mitigate internal cyber risks, and with Fi Mercer, with her governance expertise hat on, outlined the Board of Directors role in protecting the organisation from internal, human risk.

Together, they discussed how individuals and organisations could prepare for potential hacks and reduce the likelihood of breaches.

They also provided valuable insights into the definition of People Cyber Risk and the behavioral issues that contribute to it.

## Assessing Director Cyber Capability

The webinar covers the topic of Director capability scores, outlining how ill prepared today's Directors are when it comes to cyber capability.

The GovernWith Director capability scores were shared during the session, providing insights into the level of cyber risk management readiness among Directors.

## Who Is It For?

The webinar replay is perfect for Board Members, Chairpersons, and Executives who wanted to learn more about the intersection between human behavior and cyber security and the risks it presented.

By watching, individuals and organisations could better protect themselves from cyber threats and develop strategies to mitigate potential cyber risks.

This webinar, "How Human Nature is the Biggest Risk to a Cyber Security Breach" webinar replay provided valuable insights into the critical role that human behavior and psychology play in cyber security breaches.

The expertise of Michael Parrant and Fi Mercer added depth and breadth to the discussion, providing attendees with practical strategies for Board Members to better protect themselves and their organisations.
