Being human-centric means placing humans at the center of design, decision-making, and problem-solving processes. It involves understanding, empathizing with, and prioritizing the needs, preferences, and experiences of individuals.  But how does that help us reduce our risk profile?  How can we consider the needs of each individual when we design our security strategy and deploy that next bit of tech.  How can we collect understand the needs of the individuals we are protecting?  How can we use it to improve our defences and mitigate risk?  How can we make it scale with limited resources?  How can we do more for less?  In this session we will share the secrets of an effective human-centric security strategy.
