Unpacking the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 Public Draft is like unboxing a new gadget—it’s the same but better. The proposed changes in the training requirements are subtle but pinpointed for clarity, trimming any room for misinterpretation. While most vendors miss the mark on role-based training, the new draft illuminates these gaps. Dive in to understand how these changes might be more significant than you think.

In the realm of cybersecurity, the spotlight often falls on technology—firewalls, AI-driven threat detection, and other advanced solutions. But what if the key to robust cybersecurity lies not just in your tech stack but in the people operating behind it? In this talk, we shift the focus from viewing humans as the weakest link to recognizing them as invaluable assets in your cybersecurity strategy. We'll discuss why every avoided phishing attack is a victory for the "human firewall," and why investing in your people could prevent over 90% of potential breaches. You'll learn about the only three metrics that matter in cybersecurity and how a human-centric approach can offer a substantial return on investment. Overcoming the common objections to a human-centric strategy, this talk will arm you with the insights to rethink your cybersecurity strategy. By the end, you'll be convinced that the human element is not just a part of the solution—it is the solution. Embark on your journey to strengthen your human firewall and transform your organization's cybersecurity posture.
