The first step in your journey towards becoming secure is believing that you can be successful. Many of us are conditioned to believe we need to be cynical in order to be secure. In George’s award-winning book, Well Aware, he demonstrates that the opposite is true…we can hack our own brain’s “habit loop” to make being more secure easy. George will provide a roadmap on how to use the science behind habits that can help make security possible for anyone.

Attendees will be able to:

  • Understand how habits play a role in helping us become more secure
