The Future of SAT: Immersive Storytelling That Transforms Security Behavior
Traditional compliance training often fails to create real behavior change. This session introduces a next-generation approach to Security Awareness Training (SAT) that uses cinematic storytelling, immersive design, and neuroscience principles to build lasting security instincts. Through Locked Out, a motion-captured training experience built in Unreal Engine 5, attendees will see how emotion and atmosphere can make security lessons unforgettable. Learn how to evaluate your current SAT program and apply immersive techniques that transform knowledge into instinct.
