“82% of breaches involved the human element. Whether it is the use of stolen credentials, phishing, misuse or simply an error, people continue to play a very large role in incidents and breaches alike.”
Creating a Living Human Risk Score
Elevate explains that it addresses workforce risk by integrating billions of independent data points across the organization and beyond to create an individual risk score, much like a credit score, for each worker. Risk factors, such as worker susceptibility to phishing, sensitive data handling, safe browsing and password management, are combined with demographics and other characteristics to form a constantly updated Human Risk Score.Andrew Turner, executive vice president, chief technology officer and market strategy lead for Booz Allen’s global Commercial business, described the advantages to the Elevate partnership:“Our Dynamic Cyber Trust solution leverages the Elevate Security platform to create a uniquely scalable approach that holistically targets one of cybersecurity’s root causes of failure — people. Our solution builds on core concepts of the emergent cybersecurity framework, zero trust, adding human risk assessments and employee cyber behavior analysis. This strategic and predictive approach to organizational cybersecurity eliminates implicit trust, continuously validates every stage of digital interaction, and provides transparent and measurable human-centric feedback to reduce security gaps over time.”
