Session Leader: Anna Collard, SVP Content Strategy & Evangelist Africa – KnowBe4 

Session Title: Building an effective Security Culture in Africa 

Session Synopsis:

Security culture is the ideas, customs, and social behaviours of an organization that influence their security and it is directly associated with reduced risk. In a recently published KnowBe4 Research report, we demonstrated that organizations with poor security culture have a risk that is 52 times higher for employees sharing credentials.

Anna will share findings from KnowBe4 latest research reports, such as our global Security Culture report 2021, the brand new African end-user awareness report from December 2021, and any trends we’ve seen in behaviour design that can be applied to security culture programs.

She will also share practical tips on how to improve security culture, what works and what doesn’t and lessons learnt from some of our African customers.

Join us as we discuss the latest developments in security culture, understand some of the key challenges and learn how to effectively improve security cultures over time.
