According to Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, “82% of breaches involved the human element. Whether it is the use of stolen credentials, phishing, misuse or simply an error, people continue to play a very large role in incidents and breaches alike.”
Elevate addresses workforce risk by integrating data feeds across the organization and beyond to create an individual risk score, much like a credit score, for each worker. Risk factors such as worker susceptibility to phishing, sensitive data handling, safe browsing, and password management are combined with demographics and other characteristics to form a constantly updated Human Risk Score. No other technology delivers Elevate’s detailed user risk analysis, which is based on billions of independent data points. This strategic partnership adds human risk quantification and mitigation to the Booz Allen Commercial team’s multiple cyber-enabled platforms.
