This talk will explore the growing field of human risk management and quantification, diving into the next step in an organization's risk journey: quantifying people. We will discuss where the market is, how people are adopting it, and what organizations can gain from human risk management.

Join this 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 their actions and access. This space is very similar to where cyber risk quantification was about 4 years ago when there were a few start-ups in the market and a few active voices on LinkedIn advocating for the adoption of these practices. Now, human risk quantification is an organizational priority. Having done extensive research into where the players in the market are and how companies utilize these strategies, human risk quantification has become 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 affect their security posture.
