Delivery Format:
Presentation/Panel
Traditional cybersecurity awareness programs often fall short in addressing the complex human factors that contribute to security vulnerabilities. This session introduces Human Risk Management (HRM) as a comprehensive strategy that moves beyond basic awareness training. By understanding, assessing, and mitigating human-centric risks, institutions can transform these vulnerabilities into strategic advantages. Attendees will learn how to identify significant human risks, design effective training programs, foster a security-aware culture, and measure the impact of their initiatives. The session will provide practical insights tailored to diverse audiences within higher education.
