In cybersecurity, human factors often drive both vulnerabilities and solutions. Drawing from "The Confidence Factor," this presentation offers a five-step framework to empower InfoSec professionals to overcome personal barriers, build resilience, and reduce human-centric risks. Steps include: 1) Conquering imposter syndrome through journaling and feedback; 2) Cultivating determination with SMART goals and persistence; 3) Embracing boldness via assertiveness and networking; 4) Thinking critically by challenging assumptions and innovating; 5) Building a personal brand to enhance influence. By stepping outside comfort zones and fostering adaptability, professionals strengthen self-confidence and problem-solving—key to mitigating errors that compromise security. This session delivers actionable strategies to boost resilience, fortify organizational defenses, and unlock career potential, blending personal empowerment with practical InfoSec outcomes.
