WIT X Information Leadership X CHCon

Psychology of Security Failures

Join us this October in association with Information Leadership and CHCon for a security-focussed WIT event! We have the amazing Lois McClintock presenting on:

Psychology of Security Failures
Most breaches don’t happen because of sophisticated exploits, they happen because people take shortcuts. Users prop open digital “doors” with weak passwords, bypass MFA for convenience, or move sensitive files to personal accounts. This session digs into the psychology behind security failures: why rational people make irrational choices, how cognitive load, bad IT configurations and workplace culture play into risky behavior, and what security teams can learn from behavioral science. The focus is on engineering adoption, not just enforcing controls.

This event is kindly sponsored by CHCon and therefore will be in collaboration – all attendees of the conference will also be welcome at the Women in Tech event.
