CISO's Guide: Top 4 Considerations for Human Risk Management

In a threat landscape defined by change—from shapeshifting AI-driven attacks to persistent ransomware—one truth remains constant: humans are both the weakest link and the strongest defense in cybersecurity.

 

It’s no wonder that 74% of CISOs still cite human error as the top cybersecurity risk. And in response, 87% are turning to AI-powered products to reduce that risk. But technology alone isn’t enough. To truly manage human risk, CISOs need a deeper, more strategic shift.

 

Our CISO’s Guide: Top 4 Considerations for Human Risk Management is your roadmap to moving beyond traditional security awareness training (SAT) and toward a more proactive, layered defense model built around Human Risk Management (HRM). SAT is no longer sufficient on its own—phishing simulations and training modules can’t keep pace with today’s sophisticated social engineering tactics. HRM is the evolution: a strategic blend of process, technology, and culture.
