Her talks emphasize that people are involved at every stage of technology and that understanding human motivations and vulnerabilities is essential for effective cybersecurity.

Drawing on her board experience and advisory roles, she provides actionable strategies for leaders and employees to create environments where secure behaviors are encouraged and sustained.

    Barker challenges the traditional use of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) in cybersecurity awareness campaigns.

Her keynote at RSA Conference and other major events has made her a thought leader in this area.
