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?
