Security professionals, and people in general, tend to assume humans are not great at making risk decisions. But in this talk, cyber security advisor and former Akamai CSO Andy Ellis instead argues that humans are awesome at managing risk – exploring humanity’s tendency to make rapid, generally correct choices.

Relating human decision making to organizational excellence, Ellis will share actionable insights on how to:

  2. Learn how to identify the hidden factors in someone’s risk choice that most influence it.
  3. Find out how to help guide people to risk choices that you find more favorable.
