Why Human Risk Management is Now Critical in Cybersecurity | UpGuard

This UpGuard whitepaper advocates shifting from traditional security awareness training to continuous, data-driven Human Risk Management (HRM), arguing that human error remains a primary cause of breaches; it summarizes historical human-factor breaches, outlines why conventional approaches fail, and recommends continuous monitoring, risk-based prioritization, behavioral reinforcement, and integration with existing security tools to reduce human-driven cyber risk.
