ISSA-HR Presents: The Human Firewall

Talk Description
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue—it’s a people issue. While organizations continue to invest in technical defenses, human behavior remains one of the most important factors in preventing cyber incidents. This session explores how organizations can build a culture of cybersecurity awareness by transforming employees from potential vulnerabilities into their strongest line of defense. Attendees will learn practical strategies for communicating security concepts, increasing engagement, fostering ownership across the organization, and creating lasting behavioral changes that strengthen overall security.

Speaker: Brittany Oliver
A cybersecurity communications strategist, speaker, and founder of Coastal Shield Private (CSP). With more than 15 years of experience in communications, crisis management, and technology adoption, she helps organizations build stronger security cultures by translating complex cybersecurity concepts into practical, people-centered actions that drive awareness and behavior change.
