How To Protect Your People and Your Organization From Today’s Most Common Cyber Threats
Date: Thursday May 21, 2026
Time: 10am – 11am
Speaker: Bob Michie
Cybersecurity has shifted from an IT problem to a people problem — and that puts HR and managers squarely in the driver’s seat. Your employees are holding the keys to the kingdom: payroll systems, benefits data, onboarding documents, financial records, and the day-to-day workflows attackers love to exploit. One wrong click, one rushed approval, one “this looks legit” moment… and suddenly you’re dealing with payroll fraud, stolen identities, or a compromised email account quietly forwarding every message to a criminal.
The good news? You don’t need to become a cybersecurity expert to dramatically reduce your risk. You just need to understand the real threats your teams face, the patterns attackers use, and the simple, repeatable habits that protect your people and your organization. We’re going to break this down step-by-step — zero jargon, all action — so your team knows exactly how to shut down phishing, stop smishing, prevent MFA fatigue attacks, protect sensitive HR data, and recognize the early warning signs of a compromised account.
By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with a practical playbook you can immediately plug into your onboarding, training, and daily operations. Think of it as upgrading your organization from “hoping it doesn’t happen” to “ready for anything.”
