Infosecurity Europe revealed today that the popular duo from the High Performance Podcast, Jake Humphrey and Professor Damian Hughes, will be the keynote speakers for Day 2 of the conference, set to be held at ExCeL London from 4-6 June 2024.

Humphrey and Hughes, widely admired for their enlightening dialogues with industry-leading figures in several fields, are scheduled to take the stage at 10:00 am on Wednesday, 5th June. Famed for their understanding of optimum performance, they will delve into critical behaviours leading to success and share anecdotes from their exceptional guests who have reached the zenith of their respective careers.

The concept behind the High Performance Podcast is to convert the lived experiences of high performers into lessons for life. In addition to recognising the success of their guests, the duo also explores the evolution of their mindset, sources of their confidence, handling of adversity, and a lot more.

Jake Humphrey, a renowned sports broadcaster, has presented some of the world's biggest sports events, demonstrating his ability to perform under pressure and triumph in high-stake environments. On the other hand, leading sports psychologist and author, Professor Damian Hughes, uses his academic and practical background to help teams and organisations create high-performing cultures.

In light of the evolving cybersecurity scenario, Humphrey and Hughes will explore potential threats and how to perform under attack. According to a recent study by Infosecurity Europe, more than 33% of respondents identified social engineering, human error, and supply chain vulnerabilities as significant concerns.

Moreover, the study revealed that ransomware and AI-generated attacks are a source of worry to cybersecurity leaders, with nearly 40% admitting these issues are triggering investments in cyber defences. The troubling growings in this domain highlight the need for professionals to stay abreast of the latest trends and strategies to efficiently protect against these dynamic threats effectively.

Taking these challenges into account, Humphrey and Hughes will shine a light on the complicated problems faced by industry professionals and suggest behaviours needed to remain resilient. Professor Hughes will draw from his expertise in crisis management to explain the process of staying calm and making rational decisions during times of crises, an invaluable perspective for Infosecurity Europe attendants given the constant threat of technology and rapidly developing systems like AI.

High Performance Podcaster, Jake Humphrey, commented, "We'll share our unique insights into the non-negotiable behaviours of some of the planet's highest performers in their field to provide an opportunity to learn from, develop and action these to achieve high performance in any role. We will draw from our pool of over 250 guests to highlight previous guests in the tech industry to reveal how they have reached their goals and aspirations."

"The cybersecurity industry is incredibly fast-paced and complex, with burnout being a real issue, so we'll specifically look at how to handle high-pressure situations like a cyber-attack, to rationally approach the unknown," added Professor Damian Hughes.

Nicole Mills, Exhibition Director at Infosecurity Group, further added, "The event continues to bring to light new and emerging technologies to help businesses tackle cybersecurity threats. The High Performance Podcasters contribute a different and engaging perspective to enable attendees to look at themselves and their behaviours when handling an attack and how to remain resilient under pressure".
