Dr Niklas Hellemann, Psychologist and CEO at SoSafe: “To
achieve real risk reduction and meet the demands of security
leaders, basic awareness measures alone don’t cut it. While
traditional and generic awareness programs focus on awareness and
knowledge transfer–educating individuals about potential threats
and instructing them on response strategies–this approach often
falls short in today’s dynamic environment. The evolving landscape
requires an evolution to holistic human risk management, which
prioritizes the outcomes and the drivers of behavior and helps to
sustainably mitigate human risks.”
The Human Risk OS™ brings together all of SoSafe’s
security offerings into a single cohesive platform that helps
security teams to drive a holistic human risk management strategy
and foster security cultures. It focuses on proactively managing
security risks through real-time risk detection and continuous
analyses, provides enhanced behavioural insights and recommends
targeted interventions to customize and optimize defensive
responses.
Its three core elements are:
- Human Behavior Sensors measure an organization’s digital
activities, behaviors, and security culture, creating individual
and group-level profiles of security behavior.
- The Human Security Index processes this tracked data and
additional contextual information such as level of seniority,
tenure, digital access, and functional criticality to create a
single index that summarizes security performance for groups and
organizations. This score allows organizations to quickly identify
concern areas, track progress, and evolution over time, and the
impact of different possible interventions.
- The Intervention Hub suggests intervention strategies to
mitigate human-related security risks and drive behavioral change
and healthy security.
Gonçalo Gaiolas, CPO at SoSafe: “We believe in the power
of people in the fight against cybercrime. With The Human Risk OS™,
organizations invest in more than just a security solution—they
invest in a proactive approach to mitigating human-centric risk and
securing their organization's future by putting people at the very
center of their efforts. We empower organizations to drive
behavioral change and build security cultures by identifying,
quantifying, actively managing, and reducing their human risk and
by focusing on efficiency to relieve the pressure on overstretched
security teams.”
SoSafe also introduced additional capabilities to its “Sofie
Human Security Copilot”, an AI-powered multi-channel agent
built to meaningfully reduce human risk. Sofie supports security
professionals and users with rapid threat awareness, situational
awareness, and zero-level security and compliance support. Security
leaders can now incorporate organisational policies and specifics
into their responses. Built on advanced large language models and
featuring an engaging interface, Sofie provides answers to support
questions at any time, sends urgent security alerts, and educates
users on security best practices, all customized to specific
organizational needs and policies.
Unlike other conversational AI-solutions, Sofie focuses on
making each interaction with the end user a learning moment in
their daily work environment, not just delivering informative
content, but also aiming to change behavior.
Gonçalo Gaiolas: “Cybercriminals are already harnessing
the power of AI to enhance their social engineering attacks. It's
time to use the full potential of AI on the defensive side as well.
Our AI-powered multi-channel agent ‘Sofie’ demonstrates the power
of AI for cyber defenses: It’s a multifunctional tool that makes
security information accessible to everyone anytime, provides
learning opportunities in every interaction, and supports security
administrators with content and communication, automating responses
to free up their team’s capacity. ‘Sofie’ makes cybersecurity part
of our everyday work, manifesting security cultures as the most
essential part of holistic human risk management.”
Ilona Simpson, longstanding CIO and Executive Advisor at
SoSafe: “SoSafe’s Human Risk OS™ and Sofie help security
leaders to efficiently drive a human risk management strategy that
sustainably mitigates risk. Based on behavioral data and fueled
with new technology, SoSafe simplifies where others complicate,
making it easy for security professionals to strengthen the human
layer as the most versatile part of our defense strategy. SoSafe's
focus on automation and efficiency not only saves security teams
significant time but also amplifies their results, enhancing
overall security posture.”
SoSafe presented its product innovations “The Human Risk OS™”
and “Sofie Human Security Copilot” with its new capabilities during
a launch event on May 23rd in Cologne, Germany and via livestream
in front of more than 300 industry guests.
