It is always a pleasure to speak to passionate cybersecurity leaders and Erica Hardinge from ANZ is no exception. Erica and Claire talked in this episode about SIT and the work they do to bring the security awareness industry together on a regular basis. They discussed the magnitude of her role to influence the behaviours of tens of thousands of staff, and covered the pain points for security professionals when it comes to trying to get their message heard.
