Cybersecurity is too often framed as a game of fear and inevitability — yet across industries and even in space, we see proof every day that resilience is possible. In this talk, Amanda draws on her background to explore two frontiers: Operational Technology, which underpins the systems we rely on here on Earth, and Space Security, the emerging domain where tomorrow’s risks are already unfolding. Through real-world scenarios and forward-looking insights, Amanda highlights not just the threats, but the opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and hope. Her mission is to reframe the conversation — showing how, from the factory floor to low Earth orbit, cybersecurity is a story of human ingenuity, adaptability, and optimism.

Despite billions invested in cybersecurity technology, 68-90% of security breaches still trace back to human action or error. In this focused session, Javvad Malik, Lead Security Awareness Advocate at KnowBe4, cuts straight to the core challenge: we can't engineer our way out of human risk. With AI-powered social engineering attacks easily bypassing traditional defences, expecting employees to detect what technology cannot is simply unrealistic. Javvad will quickly dismantle the "more technology, more training" myth and introduce Human Risk Management (HRM) - a strategic approach that works with human nature, not against it. You'll discover the essential DEEP framework (Defend, Educate, Empower, Protect) and learn why modern workplace pressures demand moving beyond generic, tick-box training to personalised, data-driven interventions. This rapid-fire session delivers three key insights: why traditional approaches fall short, what HRM actually means in practice, and the immediate steps you can take to start transforming your workforce from your biggest vulnerability into your strongest defence.
