Why should your Board care about transforming human behavior from a cyber risk into a strategic defense? Ignoring this could mean the difference between your organization's success and its next breach. What don't you know and what should you do about it?
Join us on #CyberBoardCast™ Episode 231 as we kick off a new mini-series on the 'Human Factor in Cybersecurity.' Today, we explore the critical role of human behavior in cyber risks and how your Board and C-Suite can leverage behavioral analytics and advanced training to mitigate these threats.
Ep231: The Human Element: Uncovering Behavioral Risks in Cybersecurity
Key Takeaways:
1. Human Error as a Primary Cause of Breaches: Over 80% of security breaches are due to human error, emphasizing the need to focus on human behavior in cybersecurity strategies.
2. Types of Behavioral Risks: Social engineering attacks and insider threats are significant behavioral risks that need to be addressed.
3. Behavioral Psychology: Understanding cognitive biases and other psychological factors can help us develop more effective cybersecurity strategies.
Real-World Case Studies:
1. Target's Data Breach (2013): A phishing attack on a third-party vendor led to a massive data breach, exposing the personal information of over 40 million customers. This incident underscores the critical importance of addressing human behavior in cybersecurity.
2. Edward Snowden's Leak (2013): Highlighting the threat posed by malicious insiders, Snowden's leak of classified information exposed significant vulnerabilities.
