Human Enablement: The Language Reshaping Security Culture | David Shipley

Calling employees a "human risk" is costing your security program before training even starts.   David Shipley, CEO of Beauceron Security, makes the case for reframing the whole category on the Digital Trust podcast. * "Human Risk Management" signals to employees they're liabilities, not assets — it's demotivating by design * The goal is helping people make good choices with technology, not minimising the human * New employees are higher risk than any specific role; target behaviour, not job title * Security Awareness data shows over-training suppresses reporting rates * The answer is frequency, not volume ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
