Living Security, the\u00a0global leader<\/a>\u00a0in Human Risk Management (HRM), today released the\u00a02025 State of Human Cyber Risk Report<\/a>, an independent study conducted by leading research firm Cyentia Institute. The report provides an unprecedented look at behavioral risk inside organizations and reveals how strategic HRM programs can reduce that risk 60% faster than traditional methods.<\/p>\n

Drawing on behavioral data from more than 100 enterprises and hundreds of millions of user events, the study offers a first-of-its-kind, data-driven map of where cyber risk actually lives in the workforce and how leading organizations are shrinking it. The report confirms a long-suspected but rarely proven reality: a small fraction of employees (just 10%) are responsible for 73% of risky behavior. According to the findings, it\u2019s clear that protecting the enterprise in 2025 means managing people, not just systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecurity teams have always known the human factor plays a critical role in breaches, but they\u2019ve lacked the visibility to act on it,\u201d said Ashley Rose, CEO and Co-founder of Living Security. \u201cUntil now, most insights have relied on anecdotal evidence or narrow indicators like phishing clicks. This report changes that by providing hard data that shows exactly where risk lives, and what actually works to reduce it.\u201d<\/p>\n
