Watch On Demand
Recorded Live on November 12, 2024
Humans, not technology, pose the greatest risk to organizations. Almost three-quarters of all data breaches involve a human element. According to 2024 State of the Phish report, 71% of employees took risky actions and 96% of these employees knew they were doing something risky. While people and their identities play an integral role in successful cyber attacks and data loss incidents, they are also critical for effective cyber defense.
Join us for a 60-minute discussion featuring Proofpoint’s Chief Strategy Officer, Ryan Kalember and Forrester’s VP, Research Director, Joseph Blankenship to learn about:
- Top human-centric risks organizations face today
- How a human-centric security approach strengthens your security posture
- Proactive actions to build a comprehensive human-centric security strategy
