The Importance of Human Risk Quantification

In this insightful episode hosted by Ines Goncalves, Head of Solutions Engineering at OutThink, experts Paul DeLuca, Head of Cyber Risk at HP, and Flavius Plesu, CEO and Founder of OutThink, delve into the critical topic of human risk quantification. The webinar highlights the significant financial impact of cyber risks linked to human factors and explores strategies to effectively quantify and manage these risks within organizations.

Paul emphasizes the necessity of accurately measuring human risks and articulating them in clear, systematic terms to prioritize areas of greatest potential loss. Flavius discusses the innovative methods used by OutThink to identify and measure real behavioral risks through data-driven insights, focusing on targeted strategies rather than broad, compliance-driven approaches.

Key points covered include:

  • The increasing financial consequences of cyber risks and the importance of precise human risk quantification.
  • Strategies for prioritizing and systematically identifying human risks using real behavior data.
  • Practical methods for quantifying vulnerability and risk, supporting informed, ROI-driven decisions.

The episode concludes by highlighting the shift from traditional, subjective risk management practices towards a more robust, data-driven approach to human risk quantification and cybersecurity.
