Rebooting risk

Training isn’t cutting it. Dashboards aren’t telling us what we need to know. And the phrase “human error” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

But something is shifting. Human Risk Management (HRM) is being talked about everywhere. Yet, no one’s nailed down exactly what it means …yet.

We’re not going to pretend that this whitepaper has the final word. But what it has is even better. It’s packed with the voices of the professionals who are defining it and shaping it as we speak.

Bringing together hands-on practitioners, CISOs, and behavioral scientists, Rebooting Risk captures what’s broken, what’s shifting, and what needs to happen next. It cuts through the noise, unpacks the two dominant schools of HRM thought, and sets out a science-backed approach to managing cyber risk through behavior.

What you’ll gain:

• See why SAT’s falling short, and what’s needed instead
• Understand the two dominant schools of HRM thought
• Hear direct quotes from real practitioners at the sharp end of the field
• Access CybSafe’s evidence-based blueprint for HRM
• Explore links to resources, research, tools, and practical frameworks

CISOs and security leaders looking to evolve their people strategy

Awareness managers who know tick-box training isn’t enough

Behavioral science and human cyber risk pros shaping new models

This resource is designed for security professionals seeking to:

Reduce human risk by moving beyond completions and focusing on the behaviors that lead to real incidents

Influence behavior by understanding what drives decisions under pressure and applying science that actually works

Embed HRM into strategy so it becomes part of your security program, not a disconnected initiative

Leverage science and data to connect behavioral insights to risk reduction and measurable outcomes

Build for impact by designing interventions that shift behavior and lower risk, not just tick boxes
