New York, February 3, 2025 — Cybersecurity training is failing as human-related breaches rise. Forrester urges businesses to adopt AI-driven Human Risk Management for real protection.
A shocking new Forrester report reveals that 97% of businesses conduct cybersecurity training, yet human-related breaches continue to rise. The study exposes a harsh reality—traditional training alone is failing, leaving organizations vulnerable to phishing, insider threats, and AI-driven cyberattacks.
Forrester’s research introduces the “Wheel of Human-Element Breaches”, a framework categorizing eight breach types with 25 attack methods, proving that cyber threats are evolving faster than companies can adapt.
Alarmingly, human error remains a leading cause of business email compromise (BEC), even after companies invest heavily in Security Awareness & Training (SA&T) programs. A cybersecurity expert Gal Nagli warned:
Security training is important, but it’s not enough. Attackers are constantly evolving, while outdated training methods fail to prevent sophisticated breaches.
The report highlights a growing solution—Human Risk Management (HRM). Unlike traditional SA&T, HRM analyzes user behavior, identifies risky actions in real time, and implements adaptive security measures. By integrating AI-driven threat detection, HRM provides targeted interventions before an attack happens.
Forrester’s researchers urge companies to move beyond training and invest in real-time security solutions. Cybersecurity analyst Lisa Carter emphasized:
The future of cybersecurity isn’t just teaching employees what to avoid—it’s about proactively mitigating risks before they become breaches.
With social engineering attacks surging and AI-powered threats becoming more dangerous, companies must rethink security strategies—before it’s too late.
