The main theme of this session could be summarized like this:
The Human element: I can add all the technical controls that I can get my hands on but if my employees (internal users) behave in a matter that is not safe (like clicking on a link that is malicious) the technical controls will not be able to stop an attack. Therefore, you are the first and last line of defense, you can make the difference!
