FIRESIDE CHAT – Security Is Everyone’s Job: Making Cyber Risk a Company-Wide Priority

Cybersecurity isn’t just a tech problem—it’s a people problem. And without a company-wide security culture, even the best tools and policies will fail. In a world where a single click can trigger a crisis, every employee, vendor, and executive must understand they are part of the security equation.

This high-impact session challenges senior cybersecurity leaders to rethink how they drive behavior change across their organizations. Learn how to embed cybersecurity into daily habits, leadership mindsets, and company values—not just annual trainings. Discover how to transform security from “someone else’s job” into a core part of how your business operates and succeeds.

Key takeaways include:

Why traditional awareness programs are broken—and what actually works
Strategies to make cybersecurity ownership part of every role, from intern to CEO
Leveraging internal influencers and business units to drive culture change faster
Communicating the “why” behind security in a way that sticks
Building a culture where secure behavior is the default, not the exception
If you think a strong firewall is enough, think again. Culture is your true first line of defense—and the time to build it is now.
