In this episode of The Octopod Podcast, we dive deep into the evolving world of human risk management with Masha Sedova, VP of Human Risk Strategy at Mimecast. As cyber threats increasingly target people, not just technology, traditional security awareness training is no longer enough.
Masha shares insights from her years as a practitioner, founder, and strategist, exploring how businesses can take a data-driven approach to mitigating human risk. We discuss:
Why awareness training alone isn’t working
The 8% of employees who drive 80% of security incidents
How to use risk-based interventions to protect your workforce
The role of AI, automation, and behavioral analytics in security
Why human risk management is a proactive game-changer
If you’re a CISO, security leader, or IT professional, this conversation will challenge the way you think about securing the human element in your cybersecurity strategy.
