Think Like An Attacker: Mapping Your Security With Threat Modelling

Understanding the mindset of an attacker is crucial for securing both your personal and professional life. In this talk, we'll explore the motivations, mindset, and capabilities of threat actors, as well as some of the tools you can use to help you stay aware of your vulnerabilities and better protect what matters most.

Lloyd Passingham is a Senior DevSecOps Engineer at Arbor Education, driven by a passion for security culture. He believes that security should be as much about human behavior as it is about technical measures. Drawing on his military background to inform his understanding of security threats, Lloyd is fascinated by how individuals think and what motivates cybercrime, along with the common mistakes that can lead to incidents. Committed to making cybersecurity more approachable and engaging, he helps others navigate its complexities with confidence, empowering them to take control of their digital security.

Creating high-performance teams using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®

Join us for an evening of facilitation fun as we dive into the world of high-performance teams using the LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® method.

Guided by professional facilitator Robb Lockwood, during this highly interactive workshop, you’ll be given the opportunity to get hands-on with your thinking as you explore individual and group understandings of high-performance through the medium of LEGO.

No boring presentations or tedious lectures here - just a fun, yet powerful, experience that will leave you inspired and equipped with new insights for developing high-performance in your teams.

Expect to take away actions you can implement with your teams the very next day (and maybe some free LEGO, too).

Get ready to unleash your creativity, build connections, and unravel the secrets of high-performance - brick by brick.

A bit about Robb
Robb is a Creativity and Leadership Coach at Atticus Hunter. Through his work as a trained facilitator in LEGO SERIOUS PLAY method, he supports teams and organisations in solving complex problems; developing deeper understanding; and building highly collaborative teams. Robb also uses LEGO SERIOUS PLAY methods along with his experience as a Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation to provide transformational change with individuals.

FAQ

  • What is LEGO SERIOUS PLAY?
    LEGO SERIOUS PLAY is an engaging, creative, and collaborative approach to facilitation using LEGO bricks and elements to help cover serious topics and solve complex problems.

  • I’ve used LEGO in training. Is this the same?

    I can’t say for certain that what you were using wasn’t LEGO SERIOUS PLAY; however, I can be fairly confident that it wasn’t. There are some great exercises out there which use LEGO bricks and elements but not all of these are considered LEGO SERIOUS PLAY.

  • I’ve never played with LEGO bricks before (or for a long time). Will I be at a disadvantage?

    Not at all - in fact, it might even put you at an advantage. You will be guided through a skill-building element at the start to give you all the competency you need in building, storytelling, and metaphor so that you can best enjoy and learn from the experience ahead of you.
