Combating Cybercrime
continuing to improve HRM

The daily drumbeat of data spills, breaches and thefts can foster breach fatigue, apathy and cynicism among even the most hardy security professionals. What sets in is a suspicion that all our efforts are for naught, and that we are perpetually a step behind the bad guys. In truth, most of these incidents are not only preventable, but they take months or years to bubble up. This fireside chat will examine some of the more alarming trends in cybercrime today, and offer some perspectives on how businesses, consumers and infosec pros can up their game in response.

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?
