BSW #294 - Drew Rose
How do you manage the human side of cybersecurity? Traditionally, security awareness programs have checked this box from a compliance angle but had minimal impact on cyber risk. Human Risk Management (HRM) is transforming this space by connecting an integrated, data-driven approach with personalized security training to deliver quantifiable results. In this session, we'll define HRM, explore how it is being adopted, and review the business case supporting the change. This segment is sponsored by Living Security.
