Why Boring Cyber Training Is a Hidden Security Risk
Most cyber training programmes look successful on paper, high completion rates, neat dashboards, compliance ticked. But what if the real risk is hiding in plain sight?
In this talk, Neil Frost, CEO of Bob’s Business, argues that disengaged training doesn’t just fail, it creates false confidence. When people are bored, they don’t learn judgement, they learn how to get through the module as fast as possible.
Drawing on 20 years at the forefront of security awareness, Neil explores why engagement isn’t a “nice to have”, but a critical risk control. He’ll unpack how boring, fear-led training actively trains the wrong behaviours and what high-performing organisations do differently to make security stick under real-world pressure.
This is a practical, honest session for leaders who suspect their metrics look better than their reality and want to fix that gap before it turns into an incident.
