Using Human Threat Map to Manage Cyber Risks

This whitepaper presents the Human Threat Map (HTM), a framework developed by CultureAI to address human-centric cyber risks. It outlines the evolution of cyber threats and emphasizes that traditional security measures are insufficient as attackers increasingly target human vulnerabilities. The document details how organizations can utilize the HTM to identify and understand these threats, assess user behaviors that contribute to risks, and implement proactive human risk management strategies. It describes a step-by-step approach for deploying the HTM, including auditing the current human risk landscape, profiling risky behaviors, and identifying security gaps. The HTM is structured around familiar threat lifecycle stages and enables security teams to create targeted interventions to mitigate risks. The paper concludes by stressing the importance of integrating the HTM into daily operations to effectively manage evolving human-centric threats and enhance overall cybersecurity posture.
