About Pitch on the Ship

It's time for our next ‘Pitch on the Ship‘ event – where security software/solution vendors battle it out for Best Product and Best Speaker prizes, as voted by you, the audience.

Of course, to top that off we continue our tradition of excellent keynote speakers throughout the day and then onto the evening reception with fish and chips and drinks on the hopefully sunny deck.

How does it work? We offer each vendor a 10-minute speaking pitch to tell us what makes their product the best, in a fast-paced and lively environment (let's get them a few questions this year too!). This unique format enables delegates to understand exactly where the provider of technology is in the market, and each vendor will have a stand so you can find out more about their solutions. Interspersed you have our keynotes, lunch, and plenty of networking with peers. It's always a great day!

After hours, we will enjoy a networking drinks reception and entertainment on the (hopefully sunny) deck.

You will also earn 6.5 CPE credits.

“Culture Club – why your security teams don't want to hurt you…”

10:50Dr Inka Karppinen, Honorary Research Fellow, UCL

“Psych-n-Cyber presents: Let's talk about Behaviour Science in Cyber Security”

Existing cyber security policies and awareness campaigns have focused on various dos and don’ts. Organisations have added layers of security to stop us from being productive humans, to which we respond by creating mental and physical shortcuts that are, in fact, harmful to staying safe online. Raising security awareness by compliance and ‘fear’ appeals has done us little good. Are we beyond caring? Have we accepted that there is nothing we can do? Can we help people to change their cyber security behaviours? In this session, Inka sheds light on one of the most important aspects of cyber risk – the human factor. She will explore how we can target our approach to human cyber risk management and how behavioural science can help us tailor our security awareness and training efforts. So crank up the volume! and …

“Let's talk about BS*, baby Let's talk about you and me,

Let's talk about all the good things,

And the bad things that may be…”
