Human Factors is the understanding of ‘the human in the loop’. It’s about how people behave and interact both with technology and each other, and it’s something that has become fundamental to safety across aviation and a host of other industries.

But what really is Human Factors? Where did it come from and why is it become so integral? In this month’s Altitude, we’ll be digging into the history, the practical applications and the challenges posed by the rise of things like AI and automation. 

In this episode, Barry Kirby, President of the Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors and NATS’ own Human Factors Director Nuno Cebola have a fascinating and thought-provoking discussion.

Currently serving as CEO at Praxis Security Labs, an innovative security software company which he co-founded in 2023, Kai has been providing actionable advice grounded in empirical evidence to public and private organizations around the world since the 1990s. 

Kai is dedicated to improving the knowledge and understanding of the human factors that influence security and the organizational impact they have, and in recent years has focused on helping organizations understand what culture they currently have, what culture they would like to have, and more importantly, how to get there. In 2010, he created the Security Culture Framework (SCF), a framework and methodology to build and maintain security culture, which he later gifted to the open-source community. The SCF evolved into several spin-offs, including the Cybersecurity Culture Framework by The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA). 

In 2015, Kai founded CLTRe, the world’s first SaaS-platform built to measure and manage an organization’s security culture, which was acquired by KnowBe4 in 2019. After which, Kai served as their Chief Research Officer, where he led a team of researchers that focused on bridging the gap between theory and practice and collaborated with both academia and other industry leaders on numerous well-received publications.

Episode Notes

In this episode of the Redefining CyberSecurity podcast, host Sean Martin engages in an insightful conversation with Julie Haney, the leader of the human-centered cybersecurity program at NIST. The discussion revolves around the challenges organizations face in implementing security awareness and other information security training programs, products, and operations.

During the conversation, Julie introduces the NIST phish scale, a tool that helps training coordinators contextualize phishing click rates. It considers user context and alignment with individual roles, allowing organizations to tailor their phishing simulation exercises to engage employees effectively. This approach goes beyond numbers and focuses on the human factor in cybersecurity.

Sean and Julie discuss the various challenges organizations encounter when implementing security awareness programs. These challenges include obtaining leadership support, allocating sufficient resources, and finding engaging approaches for a diverse workforce. They emphasize the importance of collecting user-generated security incidents and gathering feedback to identify areas for improvement and enhance awareness programs.

Throughout the conversation, Sean and Julie highlight the significance of understanding and addressing human factors in cybersecurity. They stress that effective security awareness and training programs should go beyond compliance and consider the individual's mindset, attitudes, and behaviors. Additionally, they discuss the lack of effective metrics to measure program success and impact, emphasizing the need for organizations to gather data and feedback to continuously improve their programs.

Overall, this episode offers practical insights and advice for organizations seeking to enhance their security awareness and training initiatives. It emphasizes the importance of a human-centric approach and provides valuable tools, such as the NIST phish scale, to help organizations tailor their programs to engage employees effectively.

So, tune in to this episode as Sean and Julie take a journey into the challenges and solutions surrounding security awareness in the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity.
