CyberSecure Leeds 2025: Prioritizing People to Combat AI Threats
KnowBe4 will host its annual CyberSecure Leeds 2025 event in September as part of Leeds Digital Festival 2025. The event will focus on defending against artificial intelligence-enabled cyber threats by prioritising a people-first, data-driven approach. Under the theme “When AI Strikes, Humans Defend,” the event aims to bring together cybersecurity professionals and industry experts to discuss the latest developments in AI-driven cyber attacks. Strategies for organisations to enhance their defences by empowering their workforce will be a key focus. As business leaders confront the growing challenge of sophisticated AI-powered cyber attacks, the limitations of technology-only solutions have become increasingly apparent. CyberSecure Leeds 2025 will address how a combination of data-driven insights and human awareness can create a more resilient organisational defence posture.
The agenda will feature a series of sessions and live demonstrations that delve into practical ways security awareness and human risk management can help organisations mitigate these threats. The programme aims to provide tangible steps for organisations to strengthen their security culture and empower employees as the first line of defence. Key sessions will include “From Office to Anywhere: How to Build a Secure Culture, No Matter the Environment,” chaired by Javvad Malik, Lead CISO Advisor at KnowBe4. Other highlights will include a panel discussion on “Top 5 Threats Your Business Needs to be Aware of Right Now, and Defence Strategies,” featuring Ant Davis, host of The Awareness Angle podcast, alongside Jack Chapman and James Dyer from KnowBe4. Attendees will learn how security awareness training, combined with human risk management analytics, can lead to measurable reductions in organisational risk, including the potential to reduce a company’s Phish-Prone Percentage by up to 86% within 12 months.
