Cybersecurity & Business Risk in 2026: The Human Firewall

In an era where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated, the biggest risk to your business isn’t a software glitch – it’s human decision. For leaders in HR and Finance, the stakes are even higher. You’re managing sensitive data, finances, and the people that attackers value the most.

Standard IT defences aren’t enough anymore. Modern attacks are designed to bypass firewalls by exploiting human psychology. This 45-minute session focuses on the human risk factor, giving you practical advice to help mitigate threats without all the technical jargon.

This session is built upon the latest intelligence from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and is delivered by Neil Frost, an accredited NCSC trainer, ensuring your leadership team receives the most robust, government-backed guidance available.
