The event
We kicked the morning off with a somewhat scary presentation from KnowBe4’s Chris Whitley titled the “Human Bubble” which focused around social engineering and just how easy it can be to deceive people by doing some light stalking.
WatchGuard’s Martin Lethbridge gave a talk on “The Threat Landscape” provided us with some pretty eye-opening statistics on cyber-attacks, 2019 top cyber threats and how to defend yourself against evolving threats.
Finally, RightCue’s Yogesh Agarwal spoke about “Using Cloud with Confidence” educating us on how to truly understand your cloud, establishing governance, identifying your data, understanding risks, implementing controls and protecting your identity.
The morning ended with a little bit of networking and lots of questions!
