Behavioural Assessment Engine
Quantifying human factors in cybersecurity.
Human factors are the biggest challenge in cybersecurity. Only 5% of organisations across the globe address human factors in their cybersecurity strategies1. Understanding human factors in cybersecurity is a challenge. It requires an understanding of cybersecurity, behavioural science and machine learning.
Our Behavioural Assessment Engine assesses an individual’s level of vulnerability to cybersecurity errors. The engine is based on decades of research in cybersecurity and behavioural science and has been designed by our experts in academia and industry. The Behavioural Assessment Engine uses a three-step process.
Classify
We find the individual’s dType – a set of human factors that are unique to each person based on their demographics and use of digital technologies.
Identify
We use the dType to identify the individual’s most common vulnerabilities.
Evaluate
We use evidence-based models and innovative game-based tests to evaluate the level of vulnerability.
