Webinar | The Human Edge: Why Soft Skills Are Your Greatest Cybersecurity Asset in the Age of AI
2026-03-30 13:00 - 17:00 UTC | BrightTALK
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the cybersecurity landscape, the conversation has largely centered on technical upskilling, automation, and keeping pace with rapidly evolving tools. But there’s a critical piece missing from that conversation: the irreplaceable human skills that no algorithm can replicate.
This WiCyS webinar, featuring flare, explores the growing strategic value of soft skills in cybersecurity, from communication and critical thinking to community-building and ethical judgment. While AI can accelerate threat detection, automate workflows, and process data at scale, it takes human insight to build trust, lead teams through a crisis, navigate ambiguity, and make sound decisions about when and how AI should be used in the first place.
Whether you’re early in your cybersecurity journey or a seasoned practitioner, this session is a reminder that your most powerful skills may be the ones that can’t be automated.
