Today we’re amped up to unveil our bold new vision to mitigate human risk, empowering security leaders to evolve their human risk management (HRM) practice beyond training centered approaches – with AI that empowers employees to actually close risks. 

Security leaders have resigned themselves to accepting human risk because they saw no way to close the gaps efficiently and at scale. Every day we hear from security teams wanting to liberate themselves from the drudgery of manual follow-ups to fix workforce security gaps – because security always breaks down at the last mile. It happens when end user interaction is required to close security gaps: chasing employees to patch vulnerabilities, unshare sensitive files, activate MFA, and the list goes on. This last mile of work is messy, time-consuming and expensive. And when these pending actions keep piling up, it skyrockets human risk debt, which security teams have compartmentalized until now as “assumed human risk.”

This situation is no longer sustainable – security teams are now acknowledging they cannot operate this way of compartmentalizing human risk anymore. The AI adversary landscape has changed it for them.

Security teams now realize this “assumed human risk” is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode - when an employee gets socially engineered with the latest AI phishing attack, and then an attacker exploits a known vulnerability from the pile of “assumed human risk” debt. 

No amount of awareness training or phishing simulations is going to help solve this. Adversaries also know that those tools really don’t adequately solve human risk gaps nor change human behavior. So they’ll keep exploiting human vulnerabilities until organizations fight back with ways to truly engage employees and make them resilient.

With human behavior being at the root of 74% of breaches, there is still not a product that addresses this problem holistically. This is what drives Amplifier’s bold vision: Harness AI to secure employees by turning awareness into action. It drives us to solve the age-old problem – freedom from workforce follow-ups and manual 1:1 engagements. Amplifier introduces a unified control plane for mitigating human risk and empowers the workforce to self-remediate issues. We are on a mission to transform workforce security with a platform loved by employees —  turning human risk into human resilience.

Our platform takes a unique approach that can coach + mitigate away human risk. We believe this powerful combination builds resilience and transforms your employees into your number one security asset.

Amplifier is the control plane for human risk that bridges the gap between security tools, teams and employees. It activates a conversational layer that helps employees understand the “why” behind all their risks and make it easy for them to take the right actions. It flips the script and makes security human.

The biggest challenge is to balance both employee experience and user security during the risk mitigation process – how to loop in employees during security automation, so they actually learn in that “moment of risk” intervention. Here are some great examples:

Forrester Research has called this out in their latest article on HRM: “The most important and disruptive — yet underutilized — use case for AI in HRM is to enable capabilities such as measuring behavior and risk and creating interventions that adapt to meet users where they are.”.  We can’t agree more with Jinan Budge!

Amplifier is the only human risk platform that maps human behavior alongside device posture, application risks, and security tool coverage to form the highest fidelity picture of human risk. Our platform uniquely promotes action over awareness – going beyond security training videos to engage users in real-time with guidance for taking action to self-remediate issues. 

We see the future of cybersecurity as a partnership within the entire organization, so we built Amplifier with the north star that humans are the biggest opportunity in cybersecurity – to be our greatest allies in protecting companies. 

It’s time to go beyond training, and mitigate human risk with Amplifier!
