What if your biggest cyber risk isn’t a hacker…
but your most helpful team member?
In today’s digital construction projects, we collaborate at speed, share information freely, and trust our partners to keep work moving. And that’s exactly the problem.
This Inspire Stage session flips the cyber conversation on its head. Instead of firewalls, threats and technical jargon, it explores cyber risk as a human challenge, shaped by trust, urgency, good intentions and everyday behaviour on fast-moving projects.
You’ll discover why most cyber incidents don’t begin with technology failing, but with people doing what they’re paid to do: responding quickly, reusing information, sharing access and solving problems under pressure.
Drawing on behavioural economics, nudge theory and lessons from high-trust industries like aviation, healthcare and finance, this talk reveals what really drives decision-making and why awareness alone rarely changes behaviour.
Delivered with clarity, real-world stories and a dash of Yorkshire humour, Gary Hibberd makes cyber risk relatable, relevant and surprisingly empowering.
You’ll leave with a fresh mindset, practical insights you can apply immediately, and a new way to influence behaviour and reduce risk without slowing collaboration or adding complexity.
Cyber risk is no longer an IT issue.
It’s a leadership one.
