Security News > 2021 > July > Security Awareness Training is Broken. Human Risk Management (HRM) is the Fix
Even with more businesses rolling out staff security awareness training programs to combat evolving cyber threats, over 90% of data breaches still stem from human error.
Training courses are wrongly seen as a silver bullet - Regular training is vital for helping employees strengthen their security behaviour, but computer-based courses are just one tool for tackling human cyber risk.
Training results aren't truly reflecting the human risk - Many user training programs fail to give businesses a true reflection of their ongoing human cyber risk and, instead, rely solely on security awareness training grades and the results of sporadic phishing simulations as a way of assessing their security posture.
Human Risk Management empowers IT pros and managed service providers to measure, mitigate and monitor ongoing human cyber risk without hindering the productivity of the workforce.
Usecure simplifies HRM by automating user-tailored security awareness training, periodic phishing simulations, simplified policy management, and ongoing dark web breach monitoring - with continuous human risk scoring clearly showcasing the impact on risk over time.
Take a look at usecure's free guide to learn more about why traditional security awareness training often falls flat, and how to start driving secure user behaviour through automated Human Risk Management.
