Tired of banging your head against the wall because users keep clicking dodgy links despite your brilliant phishing training? Fed up with SOC analysts burning out faster than you can hire them?
Yeah, I feel you. 95% of successful cyberattacks still involve human error despite us throwing billions at shiny security tech. But.. what if we've been solving the wrong problem this whole time?
This hands-on workshop offers a new framework for cybersecurity - techniques that treat humans as partners, not problems. Learn to map stakeholder emotions, redesign those cringe security moments that make everyone groan, and transform incident response from finger-pointing festivals into proper learning opportunities. Work through real exercises using your actual organizational challenges.
No vendor pitches. No expensive tools. Just human psychology applied to cybersecurity that actually works.
Despite throwing serious cash at the latest security wizardry, humans remain our biggest challenge. Your phishing training creates eye-rolls instead of engagement. Your SOC analysts are drowning in false positive soup. Your users are basically security escape artists finding creative workarounds.
Sound painfully familiar? You're definitely not alone!
The Game-Changer: 3E Framework
🎯 Emotional Radar: Target your efforts where they'll create maximum impact (because who has time to waste?)
✨ Emotional Touchpoints: Transform those awful security moments from "You epic failed!" to "Cheers for helping us test our defenses!"
🚨 Emergency Response: Handle incidents with emotional intelligence that builds trust instead of trauma
Who Should Rock Up
Security teams sick of user resistance, SOC analysts dealing with burnout chaos, security trainers watching engagement flatline, IT folk stuck between security demands and productivity pressure, CISOs struggling to explain security value to confused executives, anyone curious about why security psychology beats security technology every time.
Why This Matters Right Now
The old "throw more tech at it" approach is broken. This workshop suggests you tools to build security that works with human nature instead of fighting against it.
Bonus goodies: Implementation templates and ongoing community access to keep the momentum going.

She's also actively involved with the Cyber ASAP accelerator, where she helps academics bridge the gap between groundbreaking research and commercial reality. In addition, Iryna mentors emerging professionals in both cyber and AI bootcamps. Her passion for this intersection runs so deep that she's starting a PhD in AI for Customer Intelligence and Cybersecurity, because apparently solving one complex problem at a time isn't challenging enough.
