Continuing to Strengthen HRM
expanding human capabilities

Do you want to build a career in security awareness? What happens when you hit a ceiling? Through my own experience and in talking to several fellow practitioners, I find many don't want to become technical, move into management, or eye the CISO role -- they just want to excel and grow in awareness. This talk considers how we can level up in our careers by leveraging behavior science & design and how we start to garner support for expanding capability in our own industry.

Human element breaches remain perfunctory, with one touted silver bullet: security awareness and training (SA&T). This is a market that has grown exponentially and yet, with all this training and quizzing, human-related breaches continue to increase year over year. Join us for this session to examine the major expected changes in SA&T as the industry transitions to an approach that centers on behavior: human risk management. This new approach prioritizes positively influencing behavior and instilling a security culture within organizations. The session will provide attendees with Forrester’s definition of human risk management and answer questions like: What are the drivers and challenges of security awareness and training? How is the human risk management market maturing? What are the challenges, opportunities, and practicalities of moving from SA&T to human risk management?
