The event will explore a people-first, data-driven approach that transforms how organisations defend against AI-driven attacks
KnowBe4, the world-renowned cybersecurity platform that comprehensively addresses human risk management, will host its annual CyberSecure Leeds event on Wednesday, 24 September, as part of Leeds Digital Festival 2025. “When AI Strikes, Humans Defend” will focus on the rise of AI-driven cyber threats and how organisations can stay protected by prioritising what matters most: their people.
As AI-enabled attacks grow in scale and sophistication, technology alone is no longer enough. CyberSecure Leeds 2025 will unite leading experts, showcase live demonstrations and provide practical guidance to show how organisations can use data-driven insights to strengthen security culture, reduce human risk and empower employees as a vital first line of defence.
Key sessions and discussions will include:
- “From Office to Anywhere: How to Build a Secure Culture, No Matter the Environment” chaired by Javvad Malik, Lead CISO Advisor at KnowBe4
- “Top 5 Threats Your Business Needs to be Aware of Right Now, and Defence Strategies” featuring Ant Davis (host of The Awareness Angle podcast), Jack Chapman (SVP of Threat Intelligence, KnowBe4) and James Dyer (Threat Intelligence Lead, KnowBe4)
- Additional sessions exploring which industries are most vulnerable to AI-driven threats, with practical steps for building resilience at scale
- How security awareness training (SAT) combined with human risk management (HRM) analytics can cut risk and reduce an organisation’s Phish-Prone Percentage (PPP) by 86% in 12 months
“AI continues to dramatically and rapidly transform the cyber threat landscape, making phishing, deepfakes and other social engineering attacks more convincing than ever before," comments Javvad Malik, lead CISO advisor at KnowBe4. "Technology alone cannot keep pace with these threats. Building resilience means supporting employees to recognise and respond more effectively to advanced threats."To register and for more information on CyberSecure Leeds 2025: When AI Strikes, Humans Defend, please visit the link here.
