KnowBe4 has introduced ‘Agent Risk Manager’, a new solution designed to identify and manage human-related cybersecurity risks within organisations, reflecting a growing focus on the human element in cyber defence strategies.
According to the report, the platform evaluates user behaviour, risk exposure, and susceptibility to threats such as phishing and social engineering attacks. By analysing behavioural patterns, it helps organisations identify high-risk users and implement targeted interventions to reduce vulnerabilities.
The solution aims to shift cybersecurity from a purely technical function to a more holistic approach that includes human risk management. Employees are often considered the weakest link in cybersecurity, and managing their behaviour is critical to preventing breaches.
From an operational perspective, the platform enables organisations to implement continuous monitoring and personalised training programmes, improving overall security awareness and resilience. It also provides actionable insights for risk mitigation and compliance.
However, deploying such tools requires careful consideration of privacy, data protection, and ethical use of employee information. Organisations must ensure transparency and align with regulatory requirements.
From a risk management standpoint, the initiative highlights the importance of integrating human risk factors into broader cybersecurity frameworks.
The development underscores a key trend in cybersecurity—recognising that effective protection requires addressing both technological and human vulnerabilities.
