Human behavior as a crucial part of cybersecurity isn’t a new idea. We’ve known for some time that human factors are a big part of our risk – currently the biggest risk. Verizon 2021 DBIR data show that nearly 90% of breaches involve a human element. When combined with increases in cybersecurity expenditure year after year, we call that the Cybersecurity Paradox.

The global cost of cybercrime in 2020 was $2 trillion (Juniper Research) and Cybercrime Magazine predicts it will reach $10.5 trillion by 2025. Now consider that humans are not big fans of change. Therefore, throwing more tools at the problem is unlikely to help – but it will likely increase the attack surface. Moreover, some reports suggest that less than 10% of your workforce cause the 90% of the breaches that involve a human.

Despite the myriad “Zero-Trust-in-a-box” solutions, “one size fits all” isn’t the answer – but making human behavior a part of your strategy probably is. To explore these questions and share real world insights into how leading global organizations are addressing this challenge, join us to hear what our distinguished panel of experts have to say:

• What are the key marketplace factors driving the increase in human risk?
• Our employees know to watch for phishing – we train them every year. Isn’t that enough?
• We’ve prioritized our Mainframe as the top Protect Surface for Zero Trust. What are the first things I should do there?
• Are other customers facing the same challenges? What are they doing?
