This talk will explore the growing field of human risk management and quantification, diving into the next step in an organizations risk journey - quantifying people. We will talk about where the market is, how people are adopting it, and what organizations can gain from human risk management.
I'd like to do a session on the emerging and evolving field of human risk quantification; which aims to apply quantitative methods to assign risk scores to every employee at a company based on the actions they're taking and the things they have access to. I think this space is very similar to where cyber risk quantification was about 4 years ago - there were a few start ups in the market and a few active voices on Linkedin advocating for the adoption of these practices, but think it will start to become a lot bigger in the new year. I've done extensive research into where the players in the market are and how companies are adopting it. I think this will be the next step of a risk journey for many companies. Over 80% of breaches involve the human element, if organizations want to stop them they need to understand how the people they employ are effecting their security posture.
