Session description

When ransomware strikes, it's not a PDF that counts, but personality: people who think for themselves, act – and take responsibility. We're not talking about awareness. We're talking about behavior under pressure.

How do you identify and activate security accomplices who can help you when technology fails? How do you lead in a crisis without dominating and enable listening when there's "no time for that"? How do you enable error tolerance without becoming negligent, thus making psychological safety the strongest defense?

qSkills crisis management expert Axel Allerkamp puts an end to theoretical reflections and shows what really matters for a CISO and why no playbook is better than people who know what they're doing.
