Join us at NEXTGEN’s CYBER SECURITY FORUM - “Cyber Republic” - on 11 August 2022 (in person – Sydney CBD – or virtually) to find out how technology and human behaviour impacts your organisation's day-to-day security and operations. With speakers from a number of our largest cyber vendors we are delivering an interactive conference experience that includes identity theft demos and cyber security escape rooms that will change the way we think about cyber security.

HUMAN FACTORS IN CYBER SECURITY

With over 80% of cyber breaches resulting from human error, there is a need for greater understanding of how cyber security technology and human behaviour can be integrated effectively in a world of constantly evolving threats.
