Design for the Human Side of Cybersecurity

Design for the Human Side of Cybersecurity

68 % of security breaches involve a human element.

Are you ready to outsmart cyber threats by designing with people in mind? Join us for an interactive workshop tailored for manufacturing and engineering companies. Learn how to turn the “weakest link” in cybersecurity—human behaviour—into your greatest defence.

The workshop will balance theory, interaction, and application, providing participants with actionable strategies to integrate user-centred design into cybersecurity practices.

We’ll explore:

Using design tools to empathise with the people who are vulnerable to accidents, and random attacks… As well as the perpetrators – as a basis for developing stronger systems.
How cognitive biases and risk perception impact security.
Practical strategies to nudge behaviour and build a security-first culture.
Gamification and other creative tools to engage your team.
Walk away with actionable insights and tools to make cybersecurity user-centered, practical, and effective for your business.

Who’s it for?
Leaders, managers, and anyone looking to strengthen their organisation’s cyber defences while keeping it people-focused.

Don’t let human error be your Achilles’ heel. Use good people-centred design for a stronger, smarter, and safer future!
