Presentation: Humor In Cybersecurity: An Unconventional Tool in Cybersecurity
Description:
Humor is an unconventional yet powerful tool in cybersecurity for engaging users and enhancing learning in training and awareness programs. It makes content more relatable and memorable, as comical examples are easier to recall than dry facts. By applying humor, organizations can trigger people’s emotions and can disarm severity by taking the edge off serious or scary topics. Cybersecurity training often struggles to engage employees, leading to disengagement and poor retention of security concepts.What if the missing ingredient is humor?
In this lively and insightful session, it will be demonstrated how incorporating humor into security awareness programs can lower psychological defenses, enhance recall, and expose irrational decision-making, without making users feel embarrassed or resistant. Through real-world examples and entertaining demonstrations, we’ll illustrate how well-placed satire and parody can reveal the flaws in common cybersecurity misconceptions, helping users recognize risky behaviors in a way that resonates. By the end of this session, security professionals will walk away with practical strategies for making their training programs more engaging, memorable, and effective—because when security is fun, people pay attention.
