Cybersecurity and risk leaders from financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology join Living Security's Advisory Board to help shape the future of Human Risk Management as organizations navigate an AI-enabled workforce
AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / June XX, 2026 / Living Security, the global leader in Human Risk Management (HRM), today announced new additions to its Advisory Board, welcoming cybersecurity and risk leaders from leading organizations across financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology. The board will provide strategic guidance as enterprises adapt to a rapidly evolving threat landscape shaped by AI, automation, and increasingly interconnected human and machine workforces.
The additions bring expertise spanning financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, cloud security, and emerging technologies. Together, they will help advance the next generation of Human Risk Management by enabling organizations to identify, measure, and reduce risk across both human users and AI-powered agents.
As AI becomes embedded in everyday business operations and autonomous agents gain access to corporate systems, data, and workflows, security leaders face a new challenge: managing risk across a workforce that now includes both people and machines acting with delegated authority. Traditional awareness and training programs were not designed for this reality, driving increased demand for operational approaches that provide measurable visibility into workforce risk and resilience.
A Strategic Mandate for the AI Era
The Advisory Board will convene through quarterly virtual summits and annual in-person strategic planning sessions with Living Security's executive and product leadership teams. Members will provide guidance on emerging workforce risks, AI governance, behavioral intelligence, and the evolution of Human Risk Management as a strategic security discipline.
The board will also contribute insights that help shape industry best practices for measuring, prioritizing, and reducing human-related cyber risk while informing the ongoing development of the Living Security Platform.
"The security industry spent years treating people as the weakest link. Human Risk Management changes that by making workforce risk visible, measurable, and actionable," said Ashley Rose, CEO and Co-Founder of Living Security. "As AI agents become an increasingly important part of how work gets done, organizations need a new operating model for understanding risk across both human and machine actors. This advisory board brings together leaders who have operated at the highest levels of cybersecurity and risk management, and their guidance will help shape the future of Human Risk Management."
