This session will dive deep into the crucial role people play in security, beyond just technology and firewalls. If your people don’t know what is expected from them and how they’re supposed to go find the right information, then you are just increasing your enterprise risk.
Ensuring everyone in your organisation, from frontline staff to senior management, understands their role in responding to emerging threats is key to reducing enterprise risk.

She’ll break down augmented data management, its benefits, practical applications, and whether substantial budgets are truly necessary. Drawing on global initiatives at Bupa, Rachel will share real-world examples and invite discussion from the audience on their own experiences.
