AUSTIN, TX – September 24, 2025 – Living Security, the global leader in Human Risk Management (HRM), today announced that organizations are achieving measurable reductions in human cyber risk and building stronger security cultures with its Unify platform. According to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, more than 80% of breaches involve the human element. And as the Cyentia Institute’s 2025 State of Human Cyber Risk Report highlights, just 10% of employees account for 73% of risky behaviors—showing that visibility into the riskiest users is the key to meaningful risk reduction.
One example is Blackbaud, a leading SaaS provider for social good. Before adopting Unify, its security awareness program was limited to compliance checkboxes, leaving executives without confidence in ROI. By centralizing disparate risk data through Unify, Blackbaud achieved:
- 60% risk reduction in targeted high-risk user groups
- 0+ employees voluntarily requesting additional training
“Now we can actually show leadership that our program is working and the risk is going down,” said Terry Smith, Program Director at Blackbaud.
Unify provided board-ready reporting, eliminated hours of manual data crunching, and transformed culture through gamified campaigns, scorecards, and nudges. Blackbaud’s Human Risk Index rose 124%, signaling a measurable cultural shift toward vigilance.
“This is proof that when organizations treat human risk as measurable and manageable, they can reduce exposure and strengthen trust,” said Ashley Rose, CEO and Co-founder of Living Security. “Unify gives security teams the visibility and context they need, and gives executives the confidence that people-driven risk is being reduced.”
These results come as Living Security prepares to host HRMCon 2025, the first conference dedicated to putting the human at the center of cybersecurity. Taking place in Austin and virtually, HRMCon will bring together top executives, analysts, and practitioners to share strategies, customer stories, and frameworks that help organizations measurably reduce human risk and build security culture at scale.
As the cyber landscape evolves with the rise of agentic AI and identity-driven attacks, Living Security’s Unify platform continues to set the standard for next-generation human risk management—delivering visibility, accountability, and measurable outcomes across industries.
