What is Human Risk Management?

Human risk management solutions reduce business risk and help protect enterprises from the risks by individuals inside and outside of their organization, including employees, insiders, and third-parties.

Remote work, deepfakes, the dark web, and social media have increased the frequency and complexity of these threats. Human risk threats can lead to reputational damage, IP theft, financial loss, regulatory fines, and even physical harm to employees and their families.

Effectively managing human risks requires getting to the “who” behind the threats. And attribution, while critical, is complex and requires specialized expertise, tradecraft, and technology. It takes humans to solve human risk problems.
