Listen "Human Risk Management: tackling cybersecurity's weak spot"
Episode Synopsis
How do we manage the risks posed by human behaviour?
In this, the second of our short series exploring the links between human behaviour and security, we look at the emerging field of human risk management.
The statistics are quite frightening: 90 per cent of security breaches involve human error or social engineering.
But how do we, at a business level, categorise those risks? If we don’t understand the risks, we can’t reduce them.
A better understanding of where the risks are – and which behaviours are risky – makes it easier to design counter measures, such as training.
Our guests this week are Lev Lesokhin and Charlotte Jupp, of OutThink – an firm that’s pioneering human risk management.
We discuss what human risk management involves, and how security teams can make use of it, without crossing privacy boundaries.
