About the webinar.
The publication makes the case on paper. This webinar makes people feel it in real time. Jayson E. Street, Iain Jackson, and James Sheppard walk a live audience through how psychological manipulation actually works and why the industry keeps getting the response wrong.
No slides. No corporate polish. A fireside chat between practitioners who have spent their careers treating the human layer as the primary attack surface. Followed by a live Q&A where nothing is off limits.
Registered attendees receive The Human Firewall Was Never Real — the full publication authored by Jayson E. Street — as a free download after the event.
01
WHY TRAINING KEEPS FAILING
Security awareness training teaches employees to recognize a list. Attackers exploit something older and harder to override. Understand the gap.
02
How manipulation actually works
Reciprocity, comfort, authority, the co-pilot subconscious. The triggers attackers rely on, and how a sophisticated operator actually deploys them.
03
What scope-limited testing misses
Why point-in-time engagements confirm known vulnerabilities and almost nothing else and what continuous offensive security testing actually reveals.
04
The three E’s: What good looks like
Education, Empowerment, Enforcement. The framework that separates organizations that genuinely improve from those that keep getting in.
STOP THEORIZING.
FEEL IT.
No product demos. No vendor pitch. Three people who’ve spent careers proving the human layer is the most exploitable surface in any organization, and who have clear opinions on what you should do about it.
