The Human Firewall: Human Risk Management with Masha Sedova

In this episode of The Octopod Podcast, we dive deep into the evolving world of human risk management with Masha Sedova, VP of Human Risk Strategy at Mimecast. As cyber threats increasingly target people, not just technology, traditional security awareness training is no longer enough.

Masha shares insights from her years as a practitioner, founder, and strategist, exploring how businesses can take a data-driven approach to mitigating human risk. We discuss:

🔹 Why awareness training alone isn't working 🔹 The 8% of employees who drive 80% of security incidents 🔹 How to use risk-based interventions to protect your workforce 🔹 The role of AI, automation, and behavioral analytics in security 🔹 Why human risk management is a proactive game-changer

If you're a CISO, security leader, or IT professional, this conversation will challenge the way you think about securing the human element in your cybersecurity strategy.
