Infosecurity Europe, the most influential information security event running at ExCeL London from 4-6 June 2024, today announced Jake Humphrey and Professor Damian Hughes, the dynamic duo behind the hit High Performance Podcast, as keynote presenters for day two of this year’s event.
Humphrey and Hughes, known for their insightful conversations with top performers across various industries, will take to the stage at 10:00am on Wednesday 5th June. Bringing their expertise in peak performance to the event, they will delve into the non-negotiable behaviours that lead to success, sharing anecdotes and examples from their guests who have reached the pinnacle of their respective fields.
The High Performance Podcast turns the lived experiences of the planet’s high performers into life lessons. Humphrey and Hughes will look beyond the guest’s achievements and consider how they developed their mindset, what gives them confidence, how they navigate adversity and much more.
Renowned sports broadcaster, Jake Humphrey, has hosted some of the biggest sporting events in the world, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure and excel in high-stakes environments. Meanwhile, Professor Damian Hughes, a leading sports psychologist and author, combines his practical and academic background to help organisations and teams create cultures of high performance.
As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, the two will look into the threats and how to perform under attack. A recent report by Infosecurity Europe found that social engineering, human error, and supply chain vulnerabilities were identified as significant concerns by a third (33%) of the respondents.
Furthermore, the survey revealed that ransomware and AI-generated attacks were weighing heavily on the minds of cybersecurity leaders. Almost 40% of the respondents stated that these issues were accelerating investments into cyber defences. This underscores the urgency for professionals to stay updated on the latest trends and strategies in order to effectively protect against these evolving threats.
With this in mind, the podcasters will shed light on the complex challenges faced by professionals in the cybersecurity industry and the behaviours required to remain resilient.
They will discuss how to stay calm and make logical decisions in times of crisis, drawing from Hughes’s expertise in crisis management. With the ever-evolving landscape of technology and the constant threat of cyber-attacks, Infosecurity Europe attendees will benefit from Humphrey and Hughes’s insights on resilience in the face of fast-paced developments like AI.
Jake Humphrey, High Performance Podcaster, commented – “We’ll be sharing our unique insights into the non-negotiable behaviours of some of the planet’s highest performers in their field, to provide an opportunity to learn from, develop and action these to achieve high performance in any role. From over 250 guests, we will highlight previous guests in the tech industry to reveal how they have reached their goals and aspirations.”
“The cybersecurity industry is incredibly fast-paced and complex, with burnout a real issue, so we’ll specifically look at how to handle high-pressure situations like a cyber-attack, to rationally approach the unknown”, added Professor Damian Hughes.
By understanding processes and reacting accordingly, individuals can navigate the challenges of today’s cyber threats with confidence and agility.
Nicole Mills Exhibition Director at Infosecurity Group, added: “The event continues to bring to light new and emerging technologies to help businesses tackle the threats of cybersecurity and we’ve come to expect great insight from our speakers on the growing challenges within the industry. The High Performance Podcasters bring something entirely different and engaging to enable attendees to look at themselves and their behaviours when it comes to handling an attack and how to remain resilient under pressure.”
