There is a really important market shift taking place regarding the human aspect of cybersecurity. But what is Human Risk Management? (And what makes it different to traditional security awareness?)

What is Human Risk Management?

HRM is… the effective application of scientific, evidence-based behavioral influence practices, automated and real-time interventions, adaptive technology controls, and analytics to reduce human risk.

Let’s lay it out even more clearly.

HRM is the effective application of:

• scientific, evidence-based behavioral influence practices,
• automated and real-time interventions,
• adaptive technology controls, and
• data & analytics

to monitor and minimize the likelihood and impact of user-related cybersecurity incidents.
