In a 200 page book about mankind's evolution, the last two hundred years would span a quarter of a page. Our brain's evolution has been outmatched by the technological advances it itself is creating, landing us in an environment which we cannot comprehend. The media fill us with irrational scare stories. Politicians often use fear to push an agenda. Even when we consciously disbelieve their stories, they mark our thoughts and affect our decisions.

Research shows that you're likely to be underestimating your real risks. You're also likely to be spending too much attention on risks which matter little to your business. Justin Vassallo will analyse the findings of scientific research to discover the complex methods by which our brain takes risk judgements, and enable us to unravel them.

Justin Vassallo is the Head of IT at Ixaris Systems and a freelance security consultant. Working on IT security for over 7 years, Justin has experience with a variety of companies, from family owned businesses to multi-nationals.
