Session
Humour can be a powerful tool in cybersecurity awareness because it makes messages more memorable and engaging, ultimately supporting real behavior change. In this presentation you'll learn why humour is useful for more effective awareness campaigns. Research shows that humour can enhance understanding and retention when applied thoughtfully. However, it must be used carefully as misunderstanding and different viewpoints on what is considered funny can have the opposite effect of what you want to achieve. The presentation closes with a short summary of do’s and dont’s for using humour in your next awareness campaign.
