Humans are still considered the weakest link in security. When an employee fails to comply with standard security controls, we often chalk it up to carelessness. But, what if there's something else at play? Can we overcome the "stupid user" myth with "smart" security interventions?

Join Duke University Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience, Dr. Aaron C. Kay and Nudge Security CEO and co-founder Russell Spitler as they present new research on how human emotion influences security behavior and what CISOs can do to improve compliance with security controls in the modern, distributed workplace.

Key research findings include:

  • If access to a SaaS application were blocked, 67% of participants would look for a workaround
  • Participants felt three times more negatively about blocking interventions than more subtle "security nudges."
  • Participants were twice as likely to make positive security decisions when nudged rather than blocked
