Project NEXUS: Human risk deserves the same rigor as technical risk.
A live, interactive session on building the world's first behavioral security ontology. And how you can shape it.
Human behavior is the #1 vector targeted by cybercriminals. Yet most organizations still rely on compliance checklists and generic training videos to solve it. That isn't a strategy, it’s guesswork.
Behavior is where every security domain connects. Project NEXUS is a collaborative initiative to build an open-source behavioral security ontology. For the first time, the industry will have a standardized framework that maps human behaviors directly to threats, vulnerabilities, controls, and quantifiable risk outcomes.
Built by the community, for the community, this living framework brings together security leaders from across industries and academia, with everyone who contributes credited. The work is open to everyone, through readouts, webinars, and collaborative in-person sessions (the first of which has happened – do join us at the next one). This webinar is your gateway to joining the movement.
The result? Human risk that's as legible and measurable as technical risk. Finally.
Building on research led by CybSafe’s head of Dr. Jason Nurse, Director of Science and Research, the ontology is a living, evolving framework that’s bringing together cybersecurity experts and practitioners from industry to academia.
“Imagine a shared knowledge base that clearly defines how cybersecurity and behavioral science fit together. This is it.”
