A Community Special at Signal: Community Networking @channel Signal is all about bringing security peers together and this year, we’ve prepared something special for the SoSafe Community. Introducing Community Networking: a series of peer-to-peer networking sessions designed to bring you together with other security professionals around the topics that matter most right now. Whether you’re navigating pressure from the board, trying to turn security awareness into real behaviour change, or figuring out what AI means for your people and your security strategy - this is your chance to bring your own experiences, challenges and questions to the table and learn from peers who are tackling similar ones. 👋 Three Topics. Three Opportunities to Connect.

How do you secure budget, gain executive buy-in and make security a priority beyond the security team? Connect with fellow security leaders to compare approaches to the leadership challenges you face every day. Bring one challenge you're currently navigating – whether it's budget pressure, board communication, competing priorities or stakeholder alignment – and exchange experiences with peers who may be tackling the same issue differently. Leave with new perspectives, practical approaches and connections to people facing similar challenges. Time Slot: 14:15–15:00

What gets people to engage with security and what doesn’t? Meet peers to exchange real-world approaches to building a security culture that goes beyond training completion and compliance. Bring one initiative, experiment or lesson from your own organisation — successful or not — and compare experiences around engagement, reporting, behaviour change and measurable impact. Leave with practical ideas you can test in your own organisation and connections to peers working on the same challenge. Time Slot: 15:15–16:00

AI is changing both how employees work and how attackers target them. How are other organisations responding? Connect with peers to compare experiences around employee AI use, shadow AI, governance, AI-powered social engineering and the changing role of the human layer. Bring one AI-related challenge you’re currently trying to solve and exchange approaches, open questions and early learnings with others. Leave with a better unde-rstanding of how peers are responding to emerging risks — and new connections to continue the conversation with. Time Slot: 16:15–17:00

Each session brings a small group of peers together for focused conversations, with opportunities to meet and exchange with multiple people throughout the session.

🔓 Early Access for Our Community The sessions have limited capacity, and as a member of the SoSafe Community, you get first access!

Community Networking is just one part of the Community experience at Signal. We’ll also have a dedicated Community space throughout the day for peer connections and more Community activities and specials to help you meet fellow attendees and keep the conversations going beyond the sessions.

Looking forward to seeing you soon! 🙌

📢 European Cyber Security Month Is One Week Away @channel Every October, European Cyber Security Month (ECSM) puts security awareness front and center across organisations – a great moment to sharpen employees’ instincts against the threats that matter most right now. And the threat landscape is evolving fast. Attackers increasingly use the same AI tools we do, making scams more convincing and harder to spot. That’s why we’ve built a ready-to-use 4-week campaign kit to help you run a focused ECSM programme with your teams, covering phishing, voice scams, Shadow AI and deepfakes. 🗓️ The four weeks at a glance:

Each week includes a Scene Inspector challenge, a short game, and one practical rule employees can apply immediately. 🎮

What's included in the kit:
