What you will learn:
You will walk away from this session knowing why it is important to employ the right individual rather than the CV, and how adopting this approach can drastically improve how a business responds to and manages security threats, company-wide.
Human error is the number one cause of a security breach...

Our Head of Cyber Security, Ryan Pullen, joins Enterprise Security Weekly to discuss why a deep-rooted cyber security culture is crucial, and how it goes as far back as the hiring process…

10 years ago, a typical hiring process consisted of working your way through a checklist, hiring individuals based solely on a CV. Today, the ‘Simon Sinek’ culture is gaining more prevalence, with employers realizing that hiring the right person, rather than the CV, can have immeasurable benefits for business.

Ryan will talk about why this is particularly true within the cyber security sphere, and why business leaders should follow this particular ‘Simon Sinek’ strategy to build a successful security operation, and secure business, starting directly with the humans that run it.
