Forcepoint X-Labs to present at Black Hat USA 2019
Forcepoint X-Labs staff will travel to Las Vegas, USA to participate in the Black Hat USA 2019 conference. We will meet customers, network around the halls and present on the booth and in the theatres.
Seek us out on booth #622 and we’d very much like for you to ask questions during Wednesday’s theatre presentation.
Thinking About Thinking: Exploring Bias in Cybersecurity with Insights from Cognitive Science
Read the ReportCuriosity – a force for good?
As you’re perusing conference briefing abstracts and vendor profiles, certain sessions will pique your interest more than others. What is it about certain options that make them so much more interesting than others? Curiosity is a unique and powerful motivating force, and it plays a large part in shaping our behaviors in the real world and online.
Dr. Margaret Cunningham, human behavior scientist, Forcepoint X-Labs, will explore this concept in her Wednesday talk “Sparking Curiosity to Change Security Behaviors”.
The talk will explore the science of curiosity and offer strategies to motivate positive security behaviors and increase engagement as a means to mitigate risk within an organisation.
Join the talk if you want to close the gap between what you know and what you’d like to know about how curiosity impacts security. Learn more about the mechanisms that social engineers and adversaries use to engage people in risky, curiosity-driven behavior--and find out how to harness the power of curiosity to improve security behaviors and protect your organization. You will also find out why profiling curiosity-driven behavior is so essential to Forcepoint's Adaptive Trust Profile.
Talk title: Sparking Curiosity to Change Security Behaviors
Date: Wednesday, August 7
Time: 4:10pm-5pm
Venue: Business Hall Theater A
Speaker: Dr. Margaret Cunningham
Breach Challenge
Principal Security Analyst, Carl Leonard, will also present on Forcepoint booth #622 setting the audience a breach challenge. How would your current cybersecurity infrastructure have coped with 3 different scenarios ranging from a malicious insider determined to copy files from a restricted area, a user battling against archaic security policies and a determined nation-state threat actor? Our booth demonstrations and illustrations will explain how a behavior-based human-centric approach would help in these situations.
