Why you should assess your current level of human risk
Most cyber breaches include a human element
In a typical breach, one of your employees makes an unintentional mistake and interacts with a malicious email. That interaction results in the employee’s credentials leaking or your company getting infected with a virus.
The importance of understanding your human risk
More than ever, cybersecurity is essential for organizations in every industry globally. While ever-improving technology can be deployed to reinforce digital firewalls to protect critical systems, malicious actors continue to target the layer of protection that has always been easier to break: humans. CISOs know that training people to understand and recognize digital threats strengthens the organization against attacks.
How to diminish your human risk
You can start with identifying your greatest human risk areas. Several organizations have successfully used a similar strategy to decrease their risk.
- Visualize the state of your human risk by testing your resiliency against a de-weaponized real-world attack scenario.
- Automatically assign your employees to fun and engaging training that's relevant to them by personalizing the training experience to their language, role, and location.
- Adjust the training experience difficulty as your employees improve. Now, your employees can start protecting your organization against attacks as they start reporting phishing simulations that are harder to spot.
- As your employees detect more real threats, quickly respond by escalating the most severe threats to your Security Operations Center.
- Gather documentation of the program’s key metrics and report progress to your stakeholders.
