Human Centric Cybersecurity Unpacked: Building a Culture of Protection & Accessibility

Send us a text

From a $25 million deepfake scam to massive data breaches affecting millions, it is no wonder that a potential cybersecurity attack keeps many people awake at night.

In a world obsessed with technological solutions, we've overlooked our greatest asset and cybersecurity vulnerability: humans. From insider threats to phishing emails to malicious ransomware, good cybersecurity hygiene is key to protecting your and your customers' data and information.

In this podcast episode, Emerging Tech Unpacked host Lucy Lin talks to Medibank Private Health Insurance’s Head of Security Awareness, Daisy Wong, about effective security strategies that put humans at the centre and focus on education and behavioural change rather than technical solutions. As a person in a wheelchair, we also touched on Daisy’s career, from marketing to cybersecurity, why having a role redundancy doesn’t mean the end of the world, and why she is a passionate disability advocate.

This podcast will inspire you to build your own culture of security, protection and accessibility!
