Session
In healthcare, cybersecurity isn’t just about firewalls—it’s about people. This 15-minute session offers a sharp, frontline look at how social engineering exploits human behaviour in clinical settings. Drawing from real nursing scenarios, it reveals how attackers manipulate trust, routine, and emotion to breach systems, and how nurses—often overlooked in cyber strategy—can become powerful defenders. With practical insights and a call for behavioural training, this talk reframes nurses as essential allies in building human firewalls across healthcare.
